With all this talk about flutter tonguing, it reminds me of how I learnt. When at school I was told that for flutter tonguing you needed to "roll your Rs" (which is true), and I was mad! I couldn't roll my Rs at *all*!!!
One day I was playing goalie in a hockey match (field variety) and just for once, my team was attacking and I was bored, and for some reason I was going "Brom pom, brom pom", in a tiddley om pom type of way. "Brom pom, brom pom, brom pom, brom pom, brom pom", and then all of a sudden I did "Br-r-r-rom pom" !!!! Hey! A rolled R !!! So then I spent the rest of the match going "Brom pom" in the hopes of learning to roll my Rs, and I managed it. "R-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r" :-) After that, flutter tonguing was easy! But I never again during school came across a piece where I needed it! ARGH!!!!!!!!!!
