  • @chocotacosauce Well theres no way i can say Q or shape my tongue like that and do it fast very uncomfortable and not natural. Ku works but but theres one nobody talks much about and thats doo-goo doo-goo as long as the tongue arches up toward the top of the mouth.

  • Hi There

    I have a top denture with three front teeth on it. Do you know if I will need to get implants to be a good trumpet player?

    I recently picked up a trumpet just this last year and I just managed to double tongue on the trumpet for the first time ever yesterday. So that's what they mean't! Now I understand. I played a euphonium when I was a boy and I always ignored the tongueing altogether. It never made any sense to me.

  • Hey mr high note retard, go listen to some mellow Wynton, Miles, Dizzy and Boti and get a technique rather then blowing high notes out of your asshole like some Maynard wanna be. Dime a dozen high note loser with no style of his own.

  • Your mouth peace looks like my Old's Ambassador Trumpet from 1965.

  • Thanks for the advice! I need this for The Theme of Shaft. :)

  • your posture is for shit

  • you should try. takata. in a triplet ofcourse. takata as opossed to ta ka ta ka ta ka for double tounging

  • Wait for tripple tounging if its "Tu tu ku" how does ur tounge hit on ku? like i dont get it

  • the most help video yet

  • You are amazing. Im 13 and im grade 5, so ive mastered double tounging, but triple tounging is harder. This video really helped me!

  • @DeathIsSly ususally triple is learned before double for most folks or comes easier . remember te ka te ka te ka fast for triples.  watch the vid on here of Nakariakov playing Hora Stacatto or Maurice Andre. Mind blowing! The Master now is Allen Vizzutti.

  • I just learned double tonguing for band festival this week. My teacher taught me this method, and at first it didn't work. It takes a lot of practice. Actually, what really got me was when I was describing something and I used the word, "subtler", pronounced, "sut-el-er". Say it fast and it the way your tongue moves around feels like double tonguing. That's what really coined it for me, at least.

  • hahahahahahahahahahaha its hard taking advice from the gay guy from reno 911

  • The point of the "saying" Ka or Ku is to get your tongue in the position where it's supposed to be. When you say Ku or Ka the back of your tongue naturally goes to the roof of your mouth thus articulating a note. There is no right or wrong. Simply put, use whatever works for you.

  • Wow thats fast

  • Clarke says Te Ke for upper register, Ta Ka for middle and Tu Ku for lower. I cant say which works since i'm only just trying to get it going.

  • taco

  • Learn it. Chicks dig it ;)

  • @bandgeekboy1 we do!

    guys appreciate a nice triple tonguing brass girl too :]

  • Woah wait! Did you say Ta ka ta ka is a bad way to practice double tongue?

  • :o i live in cali! southern cali though :p ive never heard of walnut creek before o.O

  • I'm American and I've honestly never called my trumpet a horn. Good video.

  • i can say the taka but as soon as i play it in my mouth peice it doesint work and im playing lead in a song called heart of oak in my cadet band and its really hard

  • ugh...i can say taka (or teekee) extremely fast but when i get the mouthpiece on i cant do it at all and on top of it the pitch drops when i switch from ta to ka

  • @JordanMaster22 same when i first started. I'm a little better now but my teacher says just u have to do it a lot to get better.

  • when i double tongue...i start saying taka but it turns into daga.....its weird...were just learning this song in my schools concert band called gavorknas fanfare. its so hard to do..

  • your nice ehh... lolzzzzzz

  • ugh

  • how do you say ta-ka ta-ka so fast?

  • IT'S THAT EASY!

    i never thought i would be able to do it!

    THANK YOU SOOOOOOOO MUUUUCCCCCHHHH!!!!!!!

  • The first piece, which is from the 3rd part of the Hummel Concert for trumpet, should (or is) be played with single tounguage...

    nevertheless a good lesson

  • hey, i've been playing trumpet for 6 years, i'm a junior in high school, and my range is to f above staff. can you email me some lip exercises that can increase my range and eventually enable me to achieve double G

  • Oh man, I can hardly say 'ta ka' fast. I can't get it going fast, will it take long at all to be able to say it? I'm getting discouraged :/

  • ta ka works. the difference between the aah and the uuh sound is done with the lips, which are busy playing trumpet, so its gonna end up as ta ka anyways,

  • what kind of horn are u using?

  • nice teaching posture

  • @dgraham00 lol

  • Don't listen to this guy or you will become confused. Tu Ku is only used for people who have a certain rare dental makeup and will limit almost EVERYONE in their ability to double tongue out of the staff

  • i think you only use Tu Ku if you play the saxophone. or is it still Ta Ka?

  • @yourbrassinstructor With all respect to you and your playing. Say Ta Ka and while you are saying it put the mouthpiece to your lips. I gurantee you that it will not work because your lips while naturally conform to the mouthpiece (pucker). That is why Arban stressed Tu Ku.

  • @yourbrassinstructor

    I Was Taught To Use Tu Ku I have Gotten Very use To This? Is this A bad habit? should i break it or continue?

  • I have a question- I go ta ka ta ka and try to do it fast but i think i express the syllable too much i cant go fast at all.

  • damn walnut creek? that's where i was born! if only i still lived there to learn from you >.>

  • This one.

  • yo you should do a video of you playing the green hornet theme.

  • You really like to tongue.....

  • what about tee-kee

  • or duh guh

  • you must have a lucky wife with a tongue like that

  • @Duske3000 shes gotten my tongue veryyyy strong ;) 

  • hi.. what kind of mouthpiece do u use.??

  • dah-bah-da-DOO-dah....

    ...PECKah song...

  • Haha...the Hummel. Nice lol I've been working on that part but instead of double tonguing i do that trill for the lower part. And if I'm completely wrong and the beginning wasn't the Hummel...then it sounded a lot like it lol.

  • Hey, thanks man. It takes a long time to learn, an after hearing from 5 different trumpet players, the International Trumpet Guild, Trumpet Studio, Chris Dolske, Francis Franqui, I agree with your technique.

  • what kind of mouthpiece is that?

  • so...how does one get these lessons?

  • can you swallow your tung from doing that?

  • thank you!

  • thanks!

  • Can I ask you what the second thing you played was. It has the same riff as the Woody the Woodpecker theme.

  • that guy is crazy fast

  • That's awesome!
