Re: Fast Articulation Tips

Quite recently I discovered for myself that a "light" approach also to double tonguing can make it significantly faster. That is, by doing both strokes as light as possible and just barely perceivable. Thus I nowadays also favor the describing syllables dah-ga rather than tah-ka. Then if the music asks for a sharper articulation, you would of course need also the "harder" variant - but your speed would probably be less (but perhaps still faster than by single tonguing).

Whenever learning something new, or maybe re-learning something, I would recommend starting slowly. So also with double-tonguing, but once you've got it with speed and in a consistent manner throughout the register, maybe with a specific piece you could try also as suggested above by starting already with the desired tempo and then add notes one by one - instead of adding tempo.
