My former teacher (who had been a professional clarinettist) never particularly emphasised tonguing and didn't seem to mind whether I tongued or not. I have now changed teacher who is helping me with rhythm, accompanying me on the piano and so on.(She is not addressing the clarinet side of things). She is a bassoonist as well as a pianist. She is always calling me out for not tonguing enough. I am confused. When must I tongue? When is it optional? I don't have any problems with the mechanics of it, I am just unsure as to how much I should do it. Teacher A had very much a classical style, she would bawl me out for playing too loudly or ' coarsely'. She also let drop once that people felt she didn't play jazz appropriately. Is this the difference? Teacher A wanted a beautiful legato sound, Teacher B is more concerned with achieving certain effects?
Any ideas very welcome! (and a checklist of when not tonguing is not an option!).
