Hi pritishbudhrani ,
Now that I'm finally managing to do articulation on muscle memory, I'm finding that I can do it quite fast. However, I'm not doing it fast by using any strategy or exercise, I just find that sometimes my tongue does drum-rolls, without me thinking about it. Also when I get to a place in music with fast articulation, sometimes I'm finding that it just happens, without me thinking about it.
It puzzles me a bit why this happens, because my fingers don't go fast, and I've never been able to run fast.
The reason for it, I think, is that in normal life I talk very very fast (and too much), with a Scottish accent, which includes strongly articulated consonants in almost every word (Mostly "D"s and "T"s).
I wonder if getting into the habit of heavily articulating consonants in speech might be a way to sharpen up articulation?
To give you an idea of what I mean, I have the same accent as Nicola Sturgeon demonstrates in this video below (You can hear her Ds and Ts very clearly, and almost see the articulation as she speaks)

Conversely, Joe Biden rarely articulates consonants, and you can see that he rarely tongue-articulates in speech if you watch him here:

I wonder if carefully articulated speech habits might be a route to good clarinet articulation?
(I have no idea what kind of accent you have, so I may be talking rubbish)
