I want some tips about practicing double tonguing above Bb note. I can make It until there but sound gets inconsistent above It.. Any help, please?

So if you mean middle line "Bb" then that is what was talked about in the nine minute video by the Italian clarinetist on another post. As you move higher in range (first big bump is to clarion, then mid way up clarion then the altissimo....most difficult) double tonguing becomes more and more difficult. The standard, straight up classical clarinet tonguing method is to place your tongue upon the reed to stop it from vibrating and then release it to begin the note. That is NOT what you do in double tonguing. The idea in double tonguing is closer to only creating a perturbation of the air (slowed up, slightly choked off at the "articulation").


In the Gorokholinsky video (referenced in the same post) he suggests practicing first going from one note to another NOT repetitive notes. This gives you a better idea of the LACK of stopping done when you're flying through double tonguing. Once you are well establishing moving from note to note, then you can appreciate better the "feel" and sound of repeated note double staccato.

Which Bb?
[Bb4] or [Bb5]
