In Lesson 4 we look at a different sound set using the tongue to make the sounds.
Summary
This fourth lesson introduces you to a sound set that makes all the sounds with the tip of the tongue. It can be considered a different ‘sound set’. You will encounter the first sound that is not native to the English language, namely the 808 snare (named after the TR-808 drum machine that it emulates). The new kick { d } and snare { T } will be combined into a beat pattern, and with an added bassline forms what is called a tongue groove.
Aims
At the end of the lesson you will be able to:
- Explain and demonstrate the difference between a { t } and { T } sound.
- Combine the { T } with fricatives to form new combination sounds.
- Utilise the { d }, { t } and { T } sounds along with humming to create a tongue groove.
