 Does anyone know a easy way to play triplets on a clarinet. 8 measures of triplets easily at a 144 BPM. Notes are (in the high register, not the HIGH-HIGH).........

 What my band teacher did when she was learning double tongue (fast tongue) is that she took her mouthpiece and walked around the house doing her normal things and tongue a little fater each time you play it. You might want to start off at a really slow speed maybe 72 beats? Or even slower and just increase you tonguing to get clearer and faster. She says it worked for her, I personally havent tried it, but its worth a try.

 i did a peice in a  music festival with fast triplets.  focus on the same notes, in your case E.  then focus on changing from E to D or E to F.  it'll be easier that way, instead of from note to note.  Hope this helps.
