I personally use de-ga. But there are a huge
variety of ways you could use- it's best just to find the best one for you- and
your flute [:)]

Hello, For faster tonguing, you can use double
tonguing for sixteen-notes or triple-tonguing for triplets. For double tonguing,
you can us "tu ku" "te ke", "ta ka" or "ti ki". I personally mostly use "ta ka".
For triple tonguing, I personally use "ta ka ta - ka ta ka" although some
classical musicians use "ta ka ta - ta ka ta", etc. Practice playing this
tonguing on a single note first and then start playing scales with it. This
takes time, so take it slowly and practice it accurately.

thank you you two!! i will pratice that here.... i
hope i get it well with time.... i have some sheets musics here which can help
me, for exemple the song Bourree arranged by Ian Anderson (vocal and flute
player of Jethro Tull) is very tricky and use too much that technicals.... thank

first of all, hi to you too! I think it's great
that you're attempting double touguing. I had the same probablem a while ago.
For me, i go t-k-t-k or t-k-t-t-k-t for triplets. Oh, and I also have to keep
blowing and emitting air at the same time for it to make a good sound. hope i
helped.
