Hi, I'm a senior in high school, and i am currently working on the Vaughn Williams Tuba Concerto, and Air and bouree, and i am having a difficult time being able to flutter tongue, Not that i have to flutter in those pieces, but i haven't ever been able to cleanly flutter tongue. I was wondering how someone goes about learning this technique, and I'm not for sure, but it is my interpretation that most college level tuba players know how to cleanly double-tongue different notes (like a scale, for example). The most trouble i'm haveing with this is getting my fingers to match up with my tonging.

Thanks in advance for all information.
