Hi Mikael
   
  Weren't you at Filisko's workshop in Trossingen?
  If so, you probably remember how he showed tongue block technique, using a device he made with holes in it.
   
  About bending and syllables; I always mention the word "cowboy", and ask them to repeat the "oy"-part in a slow motion fashion to get a feel for how the tongue goes backwards.

2 Do you use any specific aids to explain what you cannot show visually?
3 Do you use syllables to explain specific techniques? If so, which 
syllables?

Also, a related question;

4 The first time you are to teach a student how to bend notes, how do 
you explain it?
