The Florida State University College of Music is providing access to a treatise by Elizabeth Marie Gunlogson about Stanley Hasty, a very respected clarinetist and pedagog. The treatise includes a biography of Hasty and then lots of precious information about his teaching divided by subject.

A warmly suggest everyone to have a look at this work.

A little excerpt with some basic notion articulation:
The tongue should release the note, not the air, and it should be abrupt so that there’s a definite “t” [sound with the] “tah.” Not “tee,” but “hhh-tah-tah-tah.” I’m keeping my throat as open as I can [using the “hhh”] and the tongue just touches the reed, but I do want that little “t”.
