Dear MediaMixed,

Your private teacher can help you with that. Additionally, I have information on the educational section of my website. Check out the articulation section and the advanced warm-up

Best wishes,

[SeanOsborn]

Practice SLOWLY two ways: with fast five note trills at a slow tempo, and evenly spaced quintuplets at a slow tempo. GRADUALLY increase speed with your metronome.

[SeanOsborn]

Thanks. It's a Selmer Signature.  If you keep practicing, you'll get there.

Great job! And useful videos.

Thanks a lot.

@bescondjf Thank you! :)

This is terrific. I'm working on Rose Etude No. 4. How can I work on the fast, light tongue that you have here and that's required in that piece?

[Mussso]

Ah your trills are so splendid. Any tips of getting them in time. Because I have extreme difficulty in getting them intime.

[DrixonBoi]

Pro.

[smzmusic]

This is amazing, I like the light and dry character.  The speed is also impressive.
