Practise version by
Voliere Jennifer Cluff June 2009
no. 10 from Carnival of the Animals - Saint-Saens
Outline version is slurred to allow embouchure placement for large intervals.
Remember to move aperture forward & back for high and low registers.
Use a full, rich quality of tone with lots of ring & projection prior to tonguing

Tonguing Practise
When practising for tonguing, use a syllable that disturbs the tone quality the least. Du-Gu works for me.
Others may use Da-Ga or Tu-Ku, or even Ku-Tu (backwards tonguing) for clarity and to get "HA!" on each note.
Maintain the exact embouchure as you use for your best quality tone from slurred version when tonguing.
