Re: Double Tonguing

I am very glad that, as I sit here reading about and contemplating double tonguing- that I would do it only if WANTED a particular fast set of articulated notes at some point(s) of one or more of my own arrangements, and found it was easier or sounded better to do that way. Not because some demented composer or arranger forced it on me.

I had a prioritized set of goals when I picked up clarinet again in 2010. One of them (toward the end of the list) was to be able to accurately and nicely play from printed arrangements such as a church orchestra might use. Kind of like going back to my concert band days of high school and college. But that's still on the back burner. I am hoping that once I have pushed my personal arrangements as far as I am capable (long way from that yet), I will find that by comparison, playing somebody else's stuff is far easier than I remember from 1971. I will also need better glasses for reading real music, LOL.
