TrumpetMaster - View Single Post - double/triple-tounging

Greetings,
I am new to this site, and just saw your post on double & triple tounging. I am a "comeback" player who really didn't play past 9th grade in High School (some 25 years ago). I have been playing now consistantly for the past 5 years in a local Concert Band, and will be performing the Solo on A Trumpeter's Lullaby. I thought this was supposed to be played Single-tounge? I am struggling on the staccato with the quick single-tounging. I know I can play it more quickly (and I believe cleaner) by double-tounging, but I've been told not to.

Do you know if there is any history on this (single vs. double-tounging) for this peice?

Any info would be helpful. I will be performing this in 5/08.

Thank you,
Dan
