Please discuss how to develop this above G on the staff!!! You are amazing Michael, but the true difficulty is G and into the altissimo. Any recommendations?
thanks :3 just kidding :D the head position isn't a big factor in how fast or light your tounge is,it's really up to your comfy way of making nice and clear articulation
Мариан Божидаров The angle of the instruments affects the position of the mouthpiece tip in your mouth, so I'd say the posture can be a result of his efforts to double tongue efficiently.
@kathywilliams76 Good for you. Not everyone is blessed with a rapid tongue. For some people, like me and many many others, including Michael Rusinek that mentioned early in the video, it's physically impossible for us to tongue any faster than we can. For others like Martin Frost, Julian Bliss, and Ricardo Morales, they all can tongue (single-tongue) extremely fast. Yes, they all practice, duh. But, for many others that's not possible. Learning to double tongue could be the next best opt.
Mr. D'Addario has spent much time, resources and inquiring from the top player to develop the best quality reeds and mouthpieces possible. My students do fantastic on their products! Period.
What is the point of debating whether it works or not? What is so difficult about wrapping the concept around your head that what may work for some people may not work for others? Maybe double tonguing doesn't work for you, but obviously it works very will for Mr. Rusinek, considering how good he sounds with his double tonguing.
Sigh... the never-ending competition about who can tongue faster. Honestly, I think it's more important that you can control your tempo very well while fast-tonguing. I can't even begin to talk about how many people just rush like there's no tomorrow when they get excited about the tonguing in Mendelssohn scherzo.
@theman9126 As I said, I can already single tongue at 144. I'm not convinced double tonguing works on a clarinet. All I tried to point out was, if I had two years to work on my tonguing, I would work on my single tongue. After a bit of a lay off, I did a repeated note staccato scale at 140 this morning. And that is 4 semiquavers per note up to a top E, up and down
@kathywilliams76 unless you can already single tongue at 144 and have a conductor who wants you to play the solo in the presto after the andante in the finale of rach 2nd symphony at 170
Note to clarinet students: learn how to double tongue! It’s an invaluable technique. This is a good video.
Beautiful tonality, and, a great teaching personality. I would have you do many coaching vids, especially geared toward inspiring newbies.
This was well done. Always looking to improve my DT.
I'm a former Tommy Thompson student, lol. Thanks for doing this video.
I like it, I DT on flute but never tried on Clarinet. You do it beautifully! I am starting on this today. Thanks
holy crap!!!! lol my band director would be suprised when i finally can learn this haha! oh and your clarinet sounds really great .

I insist he demo his double tonguing over the range of the clarinet. He does sound great in the low register, but what does that get him up higher?
If you can do it in the lower register, it becomes easy as you get higher.
I finally found this video.
Does Michael's head-down position have anything to do with this articulation technique?
nope
Such a convincing answer!
thanks :3

yeahh, i did not think about that :D,you are right
Hey Michael, very well explained. U Should work together with Hamburgs Martin Schmidt-Hahn !!
Hey I'm a big ol' dumbo, so how do you make a ka sound? Do you use your tongue? I am absolutely clueless on double tounging
Can this be done on saxophone?
2:29 what song is this and can i get a copy of it for bb clarinet????
Large McNards it's just an f major scale in different segments

rico.... *shudders*
i thought the same...
Sara Jones Ok I have a royal what wrong with rico I wanna know so I wont buy one.
yeah the d’addario purple box reeds are some of the best reeds on the market

Great reeds and student mouthpieces. Read my post above to Sara Jones.

It's more difficult in the extreme upper and lower registers of the instrument because of the differences in resistance...
@kathywilliams76 Wait, is that directed towards a professional clarinet player in the Pittsburgh Symphony xD
This did not explain how it is actually done, the tongue mechanics in slow mo etc.
great video, thanks!
Excellent! WOW!

awesomeeeeee!

woow....
@egassi1027 yes, its not that hard..
Work on your single tongue for as long as that, and you don't need to double tongue. I single tongue at 144
