If I were you I would go to the original Arban's (I'm not sure if the tuba one has this because I'm a euphonium player) and read up on double and triple tounguing. It's very helpful and still pertains to modern tuba playing. THe key is to start SLOW!!!!! You must start around 60 on the metronome and try eighth notes at that tempo. And don't move up one click until you've mastered it at sixty. Strive to get the "koo" as clear as the "too" Like everything else in life it doesn't happen over night, so don't get frustrated, I honestly believe that anyone with a tongue can learn how to multiple tongue!!!! :) Hope this helps you and good luck...remember start SLOW, andy
