The name sounds fantastic!! Can somebody shed any more light on this technique. I think it is of the house of Callet, but I am not sure.

Yes, it's the latest name for Tongue Controlled Embouchure ("TCE"). Look over on the Callet Forum and use the Search function to find all that's already written here about it.

Where does the 3rd lip come from? Does this require a medical procedure, or a buddy?

Not sure, but I'm guessing that it's the tongue against the back of the lips and sometimes protruding between.

Yes, I think the name is unfortunate and not near as clear as Tongue Controlled Embouchure. It conjures up a bunch of images not conducive to trumpeting.

In describing his embouchure as Tongue Controlled, Jerry Callet found that a number of students were not getting the full picture of the 3 interrelated surfaces, the top of tongue and both lips. A doctor suggested that the term tri-labial would give a more accurate, more balanced picture. So, Jerry has been trying that term on for size. I imagine it helps some and makes things more cloudy for others. Though the term is essentially interchangeable with Tongue Controlled, it does show a slightly different shading that Jerry now uses in his teaching. Best regards, Kyle

This is something new out of the Callet Studio, and no it is not TCE. It is a lot like TCE, accept you put the tip of your tongue behind the lower teeth and push the tongue forward while keeping the tip anchored behind the lower teeth. This pushes the top surface of the tongue muscle in between the teeth while maintaining contact with the upper and lower teeth, and lower and upper lips. You dont blow air, you just use the air pressure inside of the mouth. The higher you go the less you blow air and the more you push the tongue forward, all the time keeping the tip of the tongue behind the bottom teeth.

Phil,

Are you sure it's behind the lower teeth? That would be significantly different, as I've got the tip of my tongue in front of the lower teeth...

That's quite a change Phil. Thanks for clarifying. Did you get this directly from Callet? Do you think that he's going to produce a new book?

Anyone at the ITG session, is this what Callet was demonstrating at that session?

TCE is a type of anchor tonguing and always has been. The question is where you anchor your tongue. TCE had us anchored to the back of the lips. Now, it sounds like this TLE has anchor the back of the bottom teeth AND the lips.

I think we are getting off track here. Behind the teeth just does not seem correct to me. Unfortunately we are in the wrong forum.... perhaps Kyle will see this thread and give us an opinion.

I still feel that TCE and TLE are the same thing, just two different names.

Here's what Phil Defranco said:
    "It is a lot like TCE, accept you put the tip of your tongue behind the lower teeth and push the tongue forward while keeping the tip anchored behind the lower teeth. This pushes the top surface of the tongue muscle in between the teeth while maintaining contact with the upper and lower teeth, and lower and upper lips. You dont blow air, you just use the air pressure inside of the mouth. The higher you go the less you blow air and the more you push the tongue forward, all the time keeping the tip of the tongue behind the bottom teeth."


He says it as if he "knows" it, so I'm taking him at his word.

Dave

I talked to Jerry Callet at the ITG conference... He told me to put my tongue against the lower lip, not against the lower teeth. When he demoed it, he had his tongue in front of his lower teeth and when he did the workshop the same thing was true. I'm not sure where Phil got the anchor tongueing version. I've been using TCE (aka TLE) since the conference, BTW, and like it a lot.

Gads, where does this stuff come from?!

As Jerry continues to evolve his TCE teachings, particularly his remedial exercises, the process gets different shadings. Apart from shadings, the system has stayed the same since it was published in "Trumpet Secrets" - actually a couple years before that. The term Tri-Labial is a new shading but should be used interchangeably with TCE. In actual use (apart from some remedial exercises), the tongue supports and articulates in front of the teeth, never behind. Jerry has insisted on this for 30 years and never changed. Anchor tonguing, as described above, is an articulation type for air controlled embouchures. Therefore, it has no application to TCE. Readers are always encouraged to check out the Callet forum for more info or to post questions. Best regards, Kyle

Kyle, when is the last time you saw or spoke with Jerry? I think, knowing Jerry like you do, you have to admit it is indeed possible that he has changed something in his method since the ITG...After all, he's always experimenting. The more I think about it the more I wonder if he is talking about having the tip of the tongue behind the lower teeth and, somehow, still getting the front center portion of the tongue through the lips....Anyway, maybe you could talk to him soon and clear up any further confusion. Thanks and all the best, Lex.
