What are some tips on tounging 32nd notes on the trumpet?

Answer:
In order to tongue so fast, trumpet players will often use what's called "double tonguing". This technique is usually pretty difficult to master at first, so the best way to practice it and to gradually improve is to say "tiki tiki tiki tiki" over and over again, without the trumpet or mouthpiece. After awhile, try adding in the mouthpiece, but not buzzing. Then add the trumpet without buzzing. Then try buzzing and tonguing at the same time. It takes time to learn, but once you master it, it's a very good skill to have. Good luck! Keep up the trumpet playing!
