As I am trying this exploration of double tonguing practice as I suggested, it becomes clear that the 'kee' at the back of the tongue has about a third less air pressure associated with it. That amazed me. I never realized this before I tried this without a clarinet. It has led me to emphasize the air pressure more with the 'KEE' than before. Taking a hint from Mr. Rusinek, I am doing this very slowly, alternating back and forth: tee KEE tee KEE so that the resultant SOUND out of the horn is even. It is making for a better "KEE" in the altissimo as well, something that I have heretofore NOT had.
I have yet to develop more speed associated with this, but if the evenness is improved I don't see why speed would not pick up as an added benefit.
