for double tongue, all you do is when you are blowing into your flute you can either say: 'ta ka ta ka ta ka' or 'da ga da ga da ga' or some people even say 'kitty kitty kitty' its mostly your preference. I personaly go with with ta ka ta ka. Hope this helps! And i think flutter tonguing is the same way....correct me if i am wrong!

i have no idea if you even can flutter on clarinet. On flute you roll your toung, like your saying the spanish letter "rr". I used it when I played "cool" from West Side Story. Let me know if you still need to know, and I can ask my clarinet buddy.

sorry, i thought you meant flute. I think you might use the same words for clarinet. I play clarinet too and i have never had to use any of those tonguings.

I really don't think that you will ever need to worry about these. Flutter tonguing and double tonguing can <i>technically</i> be done on single reed instruments, but rarely sounds very good or very clean. Unless you are not going to be heard by anyone, you'll probably end up straight tonguing everything.

tounging......the dilemma for all players of wind instruments.......
the proper way of tounging is better off with advise from a good player as a tutor because he or she can correct you with careful observation which we or someone else here is not capable of doing.
you start with placing your toungue on a correct position in the mouth cavity which will allow you to toungue freely and explore all the freedom of clarinet playing in the future without having to waste too much of your time on complaining about it(although IT IS A LIFETIME PROCESS of learning tounging afterall....).
my advise is to place your toungue at a position similar with when you are saying the word 'key'. this is relevantly speaking different from anchor tounging which we normally practise but the above method mentioned is the most common and effective way of placing your toungue.
to toungue you simply (not a simple task..) say a syllable for instance du or tuh or tah or tih etc....i prefer using duh as it will not be too strong, sorta legato tounging.
the action of your toungue must be fast enough in order for you to not stop the air from continuing towards the mouthpiece.
points to consider:
1. your embouchure may slightly move but it shouldn't be moving when you are tounging.
2. satccato tounging is again different from normal tounging, the methods and ways of expressing articulation differs with the speed of your toungue retracting, to of course the use of different syllables.
anyways, double tounging and so on is a way that you toungue with a double syllable (usually prominently used for brass playing)or triple or so on. say tu ku or ti ki.
it is not too important for the beginning stages of clarinet playing to practise these methods but you will have to in the later stages. why? you must get yourself a strong basic on single tounging before you proceed, as single tounging can be done in almost any speed speed not exceeding the level of 'crazy'......it is stable and better.
flutter tounging is done by moving your toungue like you are saying 'rrrrrrrrr'.....it is fairly easy practise but again, not a very common method of tounging in repotoires.

Double tounging is used for sixteenth and thirty-second notes, done on a clarinet or other woodwind by saying tatitata really fast while tounging, it helps play the shorter notes faster.

flutter tounging is very difficult to explain...as you are blowing through the instrument you merelymove your tounge up and down as fast as possible , it is difficult to master, and sounds like crap so i'm not sure why anyone would want to do it

you will have 2 learn double tounguing on a clarinet, and it's hard as HECK!!! (same as on soprano sax), but i had 2 use it on my all-region music...but i use da ga da ga, i did it really slow at first, then then i got faster and faster and faster...but it is possible
