I've been trying to learn to double tongue for about two years, (teaching myself) and I'm not having much progress. I know clarinet players generally only use single tonguing which I work on too, but I'd really like to learn to double tongue. I've read stuff here and there but does anyone have very specific method of learning to double tongue?

I recently read a book from my local library entitled "The Clarinet and Clarinet Playing". The author's last name is Pino. Along with other helpful information, he suggested a multiple tonguing technique he called "paintbrush tonguing". I haven't tried it myself yet. It uses an up-and-down tonguing motion where the tongue brushes the reed on the way up and on the way down as if to say "tuttle-uttle". It seemed like a reasonable approach. He even suggests a practice schedule and method for learning the technique.
Good luck.

I use the "ti-ki-ti-ki" or "ti-ki-ta ti-ki-ta" approach, and that with many years of working on it has worked well for me. The hard part is keeping it subtle enough to not be obvious, especially in the higher registers. It was originally a crutch in high school to play fast sixteenth note runs when I couldn't single tongue fast enough. Since then I learned to single tongue fast enough for most passages, but I had played the flute a little back then and it was taught for flute, but no one ever told me that double tongueing was not normal technique for clarinet, so I just started doing it.

I've had reasonable success with the left and right approach considering that I've put almost no effort into it. There are a lot of other skills to work on that I consider more important. But, give it a try, it may be what you're looking for.

This is a very difficult technique especially for women players with good childhood diciplines (seriously).
My women friend,who plays flute,had much difficulty to acquire this tonguing.But one day, she instantly got it.
Just lie down with your face upward.Relax.Then try brrrrr.
She could get it!My guess is in this position the tongue is totally free,making brrrr easier.But success not guaranteed.

Hiroshii, you need to come up with some good <b><i>proof</b></i>, not just anecdotal evicence, before you make statements like this. I've heard many, and as far as I know, <b><i>none</b></i> have ever been proven.
