Clarinet tonguing

Author: Stustu

Hi,

I am a beginner on clarinet and would like some advice if possible please on an issue.

I have been practising tonguing but git a tiny bit of breath type noise.

To achieve tonguing I have been striking (not hard) near the tip of the reed with the tip of my tongue whilst using the 'Tee' sound method. I am maintaining a steady air flow and do not have any major problems with embouchure whilst playing legato, and most of the time tonguing in the lower register is OK.

It is just the slight breath sound that is of concern.

I clean the instrument regularly and rotate the reeds.

Any advice gratefully received.
