My teacher will be visiting Toronto this summer, and so, she asked me to post a message regarding the principal clarinetist of the Toronto Symphony, Valdepenas. Can he double-tongue, and, if so, does he teach it successfully? If not, is there any other clarinetist in the Toronto area that teaches double-tongueing? Presently, my teacher cannot double-tongue, but she is very interested in learning.
P.S. To Mark Charette:
Could you please transfer this message over to the klarinet mailing list? I would do it myself; however, I am using a library computer (my own computer happens to be malfuctioning), and the library policy frowns upon the sending and receiving of email. Thank you.

I play both the clarinet and the oboe although the oboe is the only one of which I have had proper lessons with professionals.
I double-tongue on the clarinet though not very successfully but frequently enough. Numerous performances of concerts plus the fact that I have a rather slow-single tongue forces me to adopt the double tongue.
My oboe teacher, of whom plays with the Malaysian Philharmonic now once told me that either you have it or you don;t, ie with regards to double tonguing.
What do you guys say to this?

Well, I say that's not true. I'm not an expert but have started to learn it. It's knowing what to do and practice, practice, practice, practice - for months. It's not as easy for those of us with something in our mouth - as opposed to brass or flute players.
