My oboe teacher told me that double-tonguing on oboe is an advanced technique, one not taught to her until she was studying for her PhD.
But....I play brasses, and double-tonguing was something I taught myself along the way, along with triple tonguing.
So, I found I haven't had any trouble double tonguing on oboe either; it does require perhaps more air speed than regular playing, but isn't that far off the mark for me.
Why is double tonguing considered an advanced technique on oboe, while it is one of the basics on brass?
