I've heard of it, but can anyone elaborate?

It allows you to play faster by utilizing the back of the tongue as well.

Just like normal tonguing they both have their own set of...syllable letter things? Like "t" and "da" <- Pronounced more like "duh"

Double tonguing is "da gu" and triple is "da gu da"

It's easiest to start practicing double and triple tonguing on a scale or two.

I tried to explain it to the best of my abilities. x3;

There are many ways of playing...
my teacher wants me to say
Ta Ka Ta...for triple tonguing.
Double would be
Ta ka ta ka ta...so forth.

It depends on what you believe sounds better...

Oh. I heard that triple tonging also went like: "ta ka ta, ka ta ka, ta ka ta, ka ta ka"

Well, personally I use tu ku tu but my books tell me to use ta ka ta. XD Double and triple tonging is very useful for playing fast, since you can play faster than you normally can without it.

ummm... well practice it slowly a lot...
I usually end up finding myself randomly practicing double/triple tonguing while shopping.. heh

tah keh teh tah keh teh tah keh teh tah keh teh.... Plus there was a trumpet part in one of our UIL songs in 8th grade that they had to triple tongue... it sounded cool so I would sing it a bunch. ><

Actually, I had always used the "ta ka" method, even though I knew about the "duh ga" one as well, and this past summer I was preparing to perform Cantabile et Presto, and of course, the Presto requires double tounging, and I was informed by an amaaazing teacher that "ta ka" is very very wrong, and that "duh ga" should always be used...

That's what I've always been taught even though in the book it says "ta ka ta".....I think most of the books out there are more confusing then helpful.

But if you can play really fast with out using that technique, there is really no point in learning it. Some people can normal tounge then some people can double tounge. It all depends

I've been playing flute for 9 years and I've never heard that before. I guess it depends how you practice it. "Ta ka ta, ta ka ta" is a little easier for keeping track of the meter. It's easier to distinguish the beats in "ta ka ta, ta ka ta" from "ta ka ta, ka ta ka" with the begining notes accented especially since the "ka" or "ga" (or whatever you happen to say) produced in the back of the throat is a little less defined and even a little muddy if you are still trying to train yourself to do it clearly. I would suggest saying "ta ka ta" (or whatever variation).

I've actually never really payed attention to the book in that regard and have always said "ti koo ti koo" Sounds odd and even a little funny, but my advice is don't really pay attention to the book when it comes to the vowel aspect. Use a consinent that requires the tip of your tounge (t or d)for the initial note and a consinent that requires the back of your tounge (k or g) for the second note, but when it comes to vowels do what comes naturally. It's whatever is easiest for YOU.

some time i think triple tonging is more of blowing and then moving your tounge out of posistion.
