In high school my tonguing was substandard. In college I got a simple exercise
from Leon Russianoff that improved my tonguing dramatically over a few weeks to two months over one summer. The exercise begins by simply playing chalumeau notes CCCDEEEFG, holding the G. Gradually speeding up and then up & down the scale, other scales, etc.
Tonguing became maybe my biggest asset. I touch not quite the tip of my tongue to not quite the tip of the reed (2 1/2 Van Doren reeds). The exercise is described in detail in my book.
