Subject:  Learning to Trill

Hi everybody -- can't tell you how great it is to have the list alive again! Let me be the latest to extend my gratitude to Isabelle and Karen!
 
I've just started learning how to trill, and wondering if any of you have any tips for mastering it. My teacher has me singing 1/2 step intervals, starting slowly, then gradually speeding up.
 
Whenever I do this, it sounds clumsy and awful (kind of like a wimpy, uneven Tarzan sound), and I get really frustrated soon after I start practicing it. Am I doing something wrong, or is this something it takes years and years of practice to get right?
 
Thanks in advance!
Rachel
