When learning the shake, as you move from the lower note to the upper note, should I move my tongue up as well? Say from blocking holes 1-3 on the 4 blow, to hole 4 as well for the 5 blow?

Hello trevorgrab. The

Hello trevorgrab. The embouchure is the same as when playing hole 4 and then hole 5. Playing hole 4 you're blocking holes 3, 2, and 1. When playing hole 5, your tongue blocks holes 4, 3, and 2.
