This exercise of one of the most under practised aspects of double tounging. The clarity of your 'k' attack effects 50% of the tonguing technique so it makes no sense to ignore it - personally, I like to do most of… instagram.com/p/CCBO3aNgI5u/…

Being told you need to perform more, communicate visually with the audience, is common feedback for students. I find many young - and not so young for that matter - performers can interpret this as the need to use… instagram.com/p/CB2-8pGAcaG/…
