i can tongue block, but I've had a difficult time learning to tongue
switch (play a single hole on the left of my mouth as easily as on
the right). I'm actually a mixed embouchure player and usually LP,
but I've been trying to learn tongue switching for the exercise.
Anyway, after finally starting to get the hang of it, I discovered
that's it a WHOLE LOT EASIER to get deep bends out of draw 2 and draw
3 opening up the left side of the mouth than it was from the right.
Maybe all you accomplished tongue blockers already knew this, but it
was quite a discovery for me since the difference is so dramatic,
Live and learn.
FWIW.
