Flutter tonguing : The trumpeter rolls the tip of the tongue to produce a 'growling like' tone.
Francesco Rognoni in 1620 describes the tonguing as the most important part of producing “a good and beautiful effect in playing wind instruments, and principally the cornett” (which of course had a very similar role to the trombone).
This is a very faint tonguing similar in sound to a valve tremolo.
Woodwind players (Saxophone, Clarinet, and Flute) have a multitude of exercises to help with tonguing techniques, finger dexterity, and tone development.
