Clarinet Extended Techniques: 1. How to Fake Slap-Tongue - Sean Osborn 

Please post a video of how you do it.

+Richie Ryan When I write slap tongue, I use the snap-pizzicato symbol. There is another interesting sound you may like, where you play with the tongue lightly layed on the reed for a muted sound. I notate that with the stopped-Horn symbol (+) S

Richie Ryan did you ever finish writing that piece?

I don't think so. Mine is an average opening. Try it on an open mouthpiece and see if you have improvement.

Please make more of these videos

Some people who do real slap tongue have reported some slight damage. I think it can be avoided. Faking it my way should not damage your reed.

@@SeanOsborn thanks so much sir!

I know that I'm very late to answer this question, but just in case someone else has the same question, I'll answer it anyway. There isn't anything particularly wrong with the whole "T" thing. The problem seems to be your airflow. There are a couple easy ways to fix this. 1)Focus on blowing through your Clarinet, not into it. Just trust me. It makes a huge difference. 2) tighten your embouchure(your lips). It reduces how much air is escaping out the sides of your lips and not going into the Clarinet. It's more efficient that way. 3) Sit up straight, then tighten your abs like your flexing for a magazine. What this does is when you blow out, your air flow is very very consistent. You will have a great deal more control over your Clarinet, though you will feel like your airflow is somewhat constricted.
