Dear Vocalisters, Something that seems to work well is to have the student do a raspberry, then withdraw the tongue to the alveolar arch while never stopping the sound. This has worked for several of my rolled "R" challenged students but admittedly not for all. I really think sometimes the disability is inherent. I wonder if anybody who lives in a country where they roll R's regularly, has noticed this disability among their population. Italians? English? Scots? Swedes? Norwegians? Suomi? Regards, Les
