tongue

Tonguing is a technique used with wind instruments to enunciate notes using the tongue on the palate or the reed or mouthpiece. A silent "tee" is made when the tongue strikes the reed or roof of the mouth causing a slight breach in the air flow through the instrument.

The tongue drum is a percussion instrument in the idiophone family; this means that the material the instrument is made out of actually also produces the sound itself, without the need for strings, a membrane, or external resonator. Other names for it include tank drum, Hank drum or steel tongue drum.

language Tongue also means language, like the German tongue, or the Cajun tongue. As a verb, tongue means "lick," as in when the dog tongues your empty plate. Definitions of tongue. a mobile mass of muscular tissue covered with mucous membrane and located in the oral cavity. synonyms: clapper, glossa, lingua.

And place that air in place with the tongue in place already blocking the airstream. So instead you get. Okay so each time we're not putting the tongue. Into that to make the articulation.

The tongue is the most important of the articulators, and by the shape it assumes and the space it occupies in the resonator tube, it helps to determine the acoustic and phonetic aspects of any phonatory event (Kantner and West 1960).

The tongue drum, also referred to as a steel tongue drum, a tank drum, or a hank drum, is a relatively new instrument belonging to the idiophone family of percussion instruments. An idiophone is an instrument that produces sound via the vibration of the instrument itself.

Abstract. The tongue (L. lingua; G. glossa) functions as a digestive organ by facilitating the movement of food during mastication and assisting swallowing. Other important functions include speech and taste.

lingual. / (ˈlɪŋɡwəl) / adjective. anatomy of or relating to the tongue or a part or structure resembling a tongue.

If you use the tip of the tongue to block airflow at the alveolar ridge, you get the sounds [t] and [d]. We also produce [l] and [n] at the alveolar ridge, and some people also produce the sounds [s] and [z] with the tongue at the alveolar ridge (though there are other ways of making the [s] sound.)

The tongue is connected directly to our noisemaker, the larynx, via the hyoid bone. Any excess tension in our tongue can pull and push our larynx and drastically impact our ability to sing a smooth scale and hit those high notes that we all want to hit flawlessly.

As a result, controlling the acoustic resonances of the vocal tract is an important skill mastered by nearly all children when learning to speak: they learn to move their tongue, jaw, lips, and soft palate to adjust some of these resonances to specific frequencies.

embouchure Sometimes the mouthpiece itself is also called an embouchure. Brass and woodwind instruments are all played by blowing into or across an opening, the embouchure. As a method of playing such instruments, embouchure is a way of holding your mouth-including lips, facial muscles, and teeth.
