Tonguing

Author: suavkue

The (high school) orchestra that I'm in is currently playing Borodin's Symphony #2. There's a spot in this piece that I'm struggling with to get to tempo: http://i45.tinypic.com/2lmpirl.gif (starting at F; the eighth - eighth - quarter pattern). The conductor is taking this at around quarter note = 168 (not proper tempo marking for 3/2, but you get what I mean). Despite how much I try to practice it, I can't tongue that fast; the conductor stated that I'm going to have to learn how to double tongue to get the notes up to tempo; however, despite that I am taking private lessons, my teacher does not know how to double tongue... how do I start with approaching this?

Thanks for any help.
