Re: double/triple-tounging

Clarke had some important insite into developing quick multiple tonguing. Start with your single tonguing in the variations: tu tu tu tu (your normal tonguing) and then the same exercize with ku ku ku ku. The trick is to get them sounding the same. The latter is strenuous and I find it helpful to have a glass of tap water to help relax (take a sip after the exercize and you will see what I mean).
You need to get your ku ku relaxed - the beginning is always with too much force.
Once the ku ku starts to came around, you THEN add the variation tu ku tu ku tu ku.
The concept is divide and conquer and it seems to work faster for most students that have been playing for a while.
