< Clarinet
With a single reed instrument, double tonguing is very hard to do efficiently. That includes that clarinet. With that said, double tonguing is a skill that will not work well on the clarinet. However, it does have its benefits. . If you are up to the challenge of double tonguing, here is how to do it.
- Just like you can demonstrate tonguing by saying "ta-ta-ta-ta-ta", etc., yo can demonstrate double tonguing by saying "tu-gu-tuh-ga-tuh-ga-tuh-ga-tuh-ga", etc.
- Go back in forth between saying tuh and guh. Do it enough to get used to it. "tuh kuh tuh kuh tuh kuh tuh kuh"
- Just put you instrument up to your mouth and blow saying "tuh kuh tuh kuh tuh kuh".
- This might take some practice.
