Why is double tonguing important?
On sections that have many repeated notes or fast runs, you can use this technique to save energy and not get “bogged down” trying to do the same articulation over and over. Not all players use double tonguing. Some players are not able to do it cleanly, or can play fast enough without it to bother trying.
What is triple tonguing in music?
Triple tonguing is used when a wind musician is required to play a fast passage that is in groups of three. The triple tongue technique uses the same syllables as the double tongue technique: Ta-Ka, Da-Ga, Tu-Ku. ... When you triple tongue, you tongue at the front of your mouth twice, and the back once.
