Re: multiphonics and slap tonguing

To clarify, I do it the same way as lowclarinetman, but he probably explained it better. No one taught me how to slap tongue and I didn't know there was another method to do it, which is why I was a bit confused from Danny Boy's explaination at first. I don't move my jaw at all when slap tonguing.

>> as clarnibass says, sucking seems more natural!

Not exactly what I said (or at least not what I meant). It never seemed more natural to me, but when I recently taught someone slap tonguing I noticed he did that and it caused problems (and the same for another person a while ago). You couldn't actually know they did it, until they tried to also play a note with the slap and couldn't. The problem is you don't know you are doing it because it sound mostly the same. So as lowclarinetman says it's important to seperate the air from the slap tongue.
