Question:

Anyone willing to help out a clarinetist with some tonguing problems?

When I learned clarinet in the eighth grade, I wasn't taught properly how to tongue. Now, five-and-a-half years later, it's coming back to haunt me...big time. I've been trying really hard to break out my bad habits myself, but so far I'm not having much luck.

I suppose the real problem is that instead of the "ta" sound you're supposed to make, I use more of a "ha" sound. It's breath articulation, and it's wrong!
