What syllables do you use for multiple tonguing? Arbans says 'tu ku' for double and 'tu tu ku'. Some people I know use 'da ga' and 'dah guh duh' for triple. I use 'tu ku' and don't triple tongue. I will find what works best for me when tripling.

I was taught and still use the a tuh tuh kuh for triple toungueing and tuh kuh for double tounging. It has worked for me for many years and at my advanced age I can still triple tongue as fast as anyone I have ever heard. At Intelochen Raphael Mendez told me that my tongue was loose at both ends, quoting from Herbert Clark's opinion of another cornetist of that era. I guess that I was properly taught.

Nobody wants to here it but the key to multiple tounging is slow and methodical...with a metronome...keeping the tongue light with plenty of air....

I use for double as well as triple tounging Tu-ku-tu-ku-tu-ku etc. I used to use Tu-tu-ku for triple but I found out that the double articulation (for me) is faster then my triple. My teacher told me that no one would notice that in the triplets. And he was right....

Use different sylables for different sounds and ranges.

Tu-Ku, Da-Ga, Ti-Ki, Doo-Goo all have a place in your playing. Listen to the triple pattern on Wynton Marsalis's recording of "Grand Russian Fantasia" on the Carnaval CD. You will hear a very legato multiple tongue.

To start go very slow and make sure your sylables are crisp and all sound the same. Use a metronome.
