1.I'm Not sure if im doing this right...But im working on The 2nd mvt. of undine. Which is basically double tonguing the whole time...And its a whole bunch of intervals...Right now im Tonguing it(T T K T K..)Im starting ever 2 notes with TT...Should I be playing it (T K T K...) Instead??...Every time i double tongue should it always be T K T K... Even if its intervals or scales.



2.How is everyone doing?? I've been here since 7th grade lol(im in 11th now) and i never have the chance to talk to anyone...

Hi, Take your time kicking up the tempo.
Part of your issue is learning all of the notes because they jump around. So work in small sections until you know each section as well as you should know your Bb Scale. Another part is developing the coordination between the fingers with the tongue as well. So, work each tempo m-a-n-y times. Then, when you have it at your intended speed you should be able to get it a tad faster...for safety's sake. The next step is to coordinate this with the piano in a romantic way(Aka: Not metronomic). The piece is a beautiful one.
One point, if you are doing it somewhat below 120MM then you may be able to single tongue it in performance but I'd use it to develop the tu-ku skills thingy ;-)
So also, work your scales with articulation. 8X on each scale note, 4X, 2X and once. Double tongue and single tongue them.
