amples 1 and 2) should be used, adding more sixteenths as security is felt. KEEP THE PITCH STEADY. NO JAW MOTION. This pattern should continue from low “E” to throat tone “B flat,” (see Example 3), not moving into the clarion register until much later. The clarion register requires a feeling of much less tongue motion and should not be attempted until notes in the chalemeau register can be articulated with accuracy, speed and ease.
The patterns shown in Examples 1-3 should be used to increase speed, flexibility and accuracy. As mentioned before, the use of a metronome for all of these studies is extremely important to main- tain rhythmic accuracy.
It is crucial to leave the “one note mentality” as the double tongue be- comes comfortable and clean. The most difficult aspect of multiple tonguing is the coordination of the tongue and fingers. The patterns in Examples 4-9 have proven to be successful. They increase the size of the interval and include scalar studies. Diatonic scales prove to be most beneficial as they are patterns of familiarity. Concentration should be on the cleanliness of the double-tongue and the coordina- tion of fingers and the tongue.
As stated earlier, multiple tonguing in the upper registers of the clarinet requires great control in the mouth and throat and should only be attempted after much success with the lower register. First attempts should be made as in Example 10. As ease is gained in this study, advance should be made to Example 11.
