Pauldoesstuff Thank you very much for your comment! I'm very glad you liked my interpretation of the piece. Best of luck preparing it! Please let me know if you have any questions or if I can help prepare it in any way. :)
I played this my 12th grade year for an college audition! Well things didn’t work out like I planned them to and Now I want to go back and I haven’t played tuba for 5 years.. I’m looking at this piece and I’m like.. What the crap how in the world did I play this
Im also a freshman playing this piece and god is it hard to go that high in some parts you make it look so easy and here I am struggling. Good job making this look so easy.
Your cousin here... Clarissa's brother here from Nogales.... Say hello to your mom Adelina miss your dad. Your dad was probably my favorite cousin ☮️✌️🎼🎵🎶
My embouchure isn't mature enough to sound that amazing, but I wilk say this. I am trying my best to sound just like this video, and I actually uploaded a video of me playing the song. Of course, it can be better and it will get better this week before my audition, but...advice?? The phone makes it sound muffled, so I guess try to ignore that part
Wow, it liked easy when you did it but when I got the piece I found it to be really difficult. I think it should be a level 5, not 4 because I'm playing a 5 for solo and ensemble coming up and my solo is honestly a little bit easier. I'm playing one called "thrice happy the monarch" if your wondering.
Thank you for your comment! Piece ratings are very much subject to interpretation. Different publishers will put a different rating to a piece than others. The International Tuba Euphonium Association recently devised their own method of rating pieces and they have a list of all of the most important tuba repertoire with ratings. I think it may still be available on their website, although it might only be accessible by subscribed members. You might want to check it out! A student subscription can get you access to great articles about tuba, euphonium and music, as well as professional recordings and the ability to register for regional and international conferences with a lot of live performances, masterclasses, and merchants that allow you to try out tubas, mouthpieces, and purchase music.
+Trey Mcgruder Thank you for your comment! I hope your preparation of this piece for the state competition is going well. In this recording I keep the Air around a 60bpm. In other recordings I have made and other performances of it, I have played it around 68bpm to keep it moving forward. It can get boring and sluggish at a slower tempo. For the Bourree, in this recording I stay at around 104bpm. In other recordings I have stayed around 96bpm. The faster tempo risks sound frantic, while its easier to maintain time and style at the slower tempo. I hope that helps! Best of luck!
Pauldoesstuff In this recording I played on a Rudy-Meinl CC tuba, but I currently play on a Miraphone Bruckner CC that you can see in my more recent videos.
I always liked choosing pieces that seemed harder (within reason) than I thought I could do easily. This gives you a goal to work towards and helps you work on the things you're not as good at. You just want to be careful not to hurt yourself in the process. Playing something that goes significantly higher than your current range, for example, can be damaging. Pushing yourself to play too fast too soon can also create bad habits in your playing. Definitely challenge yourself, but only within reason. And that's something only you (or your band teacher and/or private instructor) can gauge.
Nothing beats slow practice! It does you no good to play it over and over again at a fast tempo if you are struggling with it. It is better to get good slow repetitions than bad fast repetitions.
Brian Faite Hi, thank you for your comment. You can refer to some of the comments below for a few pointers. Do you have any specific questions I can answer that may be useful to you?
PrimalMega a former teacher of mine would always suggest practicing fast music at 55bpm. It takes patience, but practicing music slowly will, ironically, be the fastest and most efficient way to learn the music at a faster speed. Slow practice is the best practice. Also, with fast runs I always practice changing the rhythm by swinging the line. Once I feel comfortable with that, I do a reverse swing, where the first note is the short note and the second note is long, etc. Let me know if this makes sense and/or if you need me to clarify anything! Any other questions are welcome as well.
The opening movement could of been expressed way more with better tone. You get some of the expression but it’s not what it could be. This piece is taken very fast as well when there is no tempo marking on it. Interesting interpretation.
Thank you very much for your comment! I completely agree with you for sure. I recorded this piece a few weeks after this recital and did slow down the second movement a little, and worked on my expression a bit more. This was three years ago, and I'd like to think my tone has improved a bit since! Thanks so much again for your comments!
Thank you for your comment! I would recommend playing only as fast as you can play it cleanly. If that's 40bpm, that's okay. It is really easy to want to play it fast from the get-go but it is important to create good habits for when you speed it up. So only go as fast as you can. No shame in it being very very slow. The more you work on a good sound at a slow tempo, the better your faster tempos will be eventually.
Light Of Arda I actually played it a bit over tempo in this recording! I recorded it a couple of weeks later for a Competition and played it a little bit slower.

God I’m playing this my sophomore year and it’s only my second year on tuba
I’m a sophomore too! What instrument did you play before Tuba?
@@darthobsidian believe it or not I played trumpet back in 4th grade then stoped for 4 years and started playing tuba.
I'm getting this prepared for my district audition, and it is likely going to be my choice for college audition

Ramon Garavito, Jr. Thank you very much, I will definitely check it out sometime.
Lol I played thrice last year and I’m playing this this year but this year I’m adding a class b trombone solo and a tuba quartet
I'm also playing this for Solo and Ensemble. I'm a bit worried about getting it up to tempo though lol
This is a four for you? I’m doing the solo as a freshmen and its a level 5 for me
I received a 1 at state
Congrats, Trey! Good work.
Im learning this on my second year of tube, but its DIFFICULT
hey makes it look so easy
i'm playing this also for a state competition on May 30th and I was wondering if you had any tempo suggestions.

What kind of tuba are you using to perform this? For example I am using a BBb Miraphone with rotary valves.
Pauldoesstuff In this recording I played on a Rudy-Meinl CC tuba, but I currently play on a Miraphone Bruckner CC that you can see in my more recent videos.
kinda tough when your a 7th grader with 2 years of tuba experience playing this bad boi

Same I’m playing czardas and I’m going to get this piece in a few days maybe
oh hello oof it is me
This is challenging but I like it. I only have to do the Air part tho.
Do you have any tips for later work in this song? I have this for solo&ensemble in a week, I would really appreciate it.
Nothing beats slow practice! It does you no good to play it over and over again at a fast tempo if you are struggling with it. It is better to get good slow repetitions than bad fast repetitions.
Any tips on better tuba playing I’m playing this as a freshman and hoping to make it into Allstate
I'm playing this for a State competition in 1-2 months and I'm a freshmen😂btw is it a Bb Tuba?
Good for you! It is a fun piece to put together isn't it? I am playing on a Rudy Meinl CC Tuba in this video.
Thanks for your comment! Let me know if you have other questions. I'm happy to respond!
I'm playing this for solo ensemble so do you have any suggestions what to do
Brian Faite Hi, thank you for your comment. You can refer to some of the comments below for a few pointers. Do you have any specific questions I can answer that may be useful to you?
No, thank you
Alright, well let me know if you come up with any questions! I'd be happy to answer them.
1:35
Playing this as a seventh grader for an audition, do you have any suggestions on the Bouree section?
how'd it go
Whats a good tempo to practice Bourree to get the runs down?

76 bpm
it really just depends on you. just slow it way down and speed it up by 5 bpm at a time. that what I do when practicing technical sections.
The opening movement could of been expressed way more with better tone. You get some of the expression but it’s not what it could be. This piece is taken very fast as well when there is no tempo marking on it. Interesting interpretation.
Thank you very much for your comment! I completely agree with you for sure. I recorded this piece a few weeks after this recital and did slow down the second movement a little, and worked on my expression a bit more.
This was three years ago, and I'd like to think my tone has improved a bit since!
Thanks so much again for your comments!
ちゃんと抜き差し感で調整してるのが聞こえる！
客は何の音だろう、と思うだろうなあ
なつかしいなぁ
What are some good tempos to practice with?

What grade is this solo?
Brayden Tebbe 2
Uh yikes
I’m very under tempo :|
Light Of Arda I actually played it a bit over tempo in this recording! I recorded it a couple of weeks later for a Competition and played it a little bit slower.
中学生だけど吹けるかな…
Damn, fix those clackety valves. How can you stand that?
bruh, it was 7 years ago and it was an old tuba lol
