Re: The worst advice EVER

That if I practiced hard enough, I could play anything. Well, that never proved true and I wish my college clarinet professors had been more honest. Don't misunderstand, I did become "pretty good", but my chronically slow tongue has always held me back from playing the really great clarinet literature.....Nielson, as example. I can play just as fast as anyone, if I slur....but I never could speed up my tongue. Yes, I did become fairly proficient at multiple tonguing technique, but it just isn't as clean as a really fast single tongue. Why wasn't I told I had this disablility back in college so I could switch to a brass instrument where double and triple tongue is normal?
