    Ash just smiled. "Keep practicing, and you might one day be better than me!."

    He turned business-like again. "Are we ready to start today's lesson?"

    "Absolutely. Let's get this show on the road." Alyssa was ready to learn more about her instrument.

    "Today we're covering two topics--a new note, and basic articulation for the bansi." Ash explains. "Tonguing on a bansi is different from the concert flute, which in turn is different from the Pokeflute."

    Alyssa gripped her instrument tightly and got ready to play. "I hope I can learn quickly and play fluently today. Let's give it a shot." It was time to learn to play.

    Ash decides to start with introducing articulation first. "Since you're blowing a lot of air through a small space, tonguing on a bansi has to be a bit more pronounced than the concert flute." he explains.

    "I really hope I don't mess this up too badly." Alyssa once again tightly gripped her instrument.

    "While there are lots of different tonguing syllables, different ones will work with different instruments." Ash explained. "Some players have an unorthodox setup that most method books would frown on.

    He went on "As far as a bansi goes, most method books will tell you to use a 'tu' or 'du' syllable for tonguing. But it may help if you use a harder syllable because of a bansi's higher air requirements--I find that saying the word 'tick' for single tonguing works well when I play."

    Ash sets the sheet music to some tonguing exercises before Alyssa. "Eventually, we'll play all the lines, but for now, I only want you to attempt the first line. Staccato markings are an easy clue to know when you need to tongue."

    Alyssa took a long look at the exercises and studied them for more than a few minutes before she began to play. This time she was pretty sure she hit the nail on the head. It sounded excellent and she felt excellent playing it.

    Ash listened as Alyssa performed. She seemed to have a handle on tonguing, even if a few of the tongued notes sounded a little muddled. Speed and accuracy would come with time and practice.

    "Slowly but surely." Alyssa commented.

    "Not bad for a first attempt." Ash agreed. "Remember, a good 'tic' syllable should add a small pop to the note, which gives the phrase some character."

    "I seem to be making a lot more progress with this thing than I originally thought. Let's try it one more time."

    Ash nodded. "Okay--try the exercise one more time. Then, we'll move on to a new note and another line."

    (how does she do this time? This will affect Ash's reaction.)

    Ash applauds the performance. "Nicely done! Now let's try adding a new note into the mix."

    He then shows you the E note--just cover the bottom three holes.

    "Let's do this thing." Alyssa said confidently.
