Play along with this daily routine to help you practice. Focus on opening up, and matching your sound. Just playing the exercise will not make you better, you must try to make thousands of miniature adjustments on every note. Don't try to make it sound "right," make it sound better every day!
I come back 6 years later to finally say that I played along through the entire thing. Slurring and reading below the ledger with sharps have improved. Speed and accuracy have improved. I still work with a Bb tuba but it's a 4-piston King BBb tuba this time around. This tuba catches water fast and it's annoying, but it comes with the package I guess. Thanks again! And, I probably will be coming back to this for years to come.
This is the greatest thing to hear, please reach out to me at demymusic.com. Sometimes I wonder if most of what I do has any value at all. You just made my year!
Do you have the PDf file ?
Thanks
What is the purpose of this warm up?
We players have to play both or just the repeat?
Wow!!!
Also. Is it an issue if i find myself using closer to the corner of my mouth or should i be able to use the center of my lips to acheive lower notes?
Why is the green line not with the music?
Webical page turn. You have to build the skill to look ahead
It's a call and response, you are to emulate the sound of the call on your response.
a novice at Tuba but I love this page! did you intend the player to play with you or after you on the rest, or both? great post so helpful to have something to play along with!!
jakemf1 this is originally designed for you to play what's on the page, and listen to the playing beforehand. copycat in a way. but there are plenty of other variations you can do. I would recommend just blowing air in fingers and listening to the tuba sound, then play when written
Thanks for response could you recommend any methods or etude books starting at a intermediate level? I have the arbans, thank again. Would be great to post some etudes so we could play along with you-just a thought! Thanks again :)
jakemf1 ha! th-cam.com/play/PLW8hB8i8GTjCPBVKlLOlm2JFxhVyBZ3qI.html
Interesting
Also i was wondering if it's an issue if i find myself using closer to the corner of my mouth or should i be able to hit lower notes by using the center of my lips or is this all personal technique?
Didn't see this, get in touch with me if you are still having trouble
I have to get a new tuba. I want to go that low so badly. Any tips on mouthpieces? Mine is not the original and you can see where it used to insert a few cm deeper into it original instrument. I really think i need a mouthpiece with a shorter stem or one that inserts a bit further. mine sounds quite flat and windy.
PS. I love the reverb.
sounds like you have a European horn with a smaller American shank mouthpiece. You shouldn't spend a bunch of money. I teach a (free) daily routine class at 11am (eastern standard time) you should join us: BrassBrunchBunch.com
@@RichardDemy Interesting. I'll try to get onto one of those lessons some time. I just played along with the demo and at first the fingering was the same for me, (was that the baritone you were playing)? But from the 9th bar the fingering started to change and i had to use different positions to get the same notes.
I don't have enough breath! It may be both technique and lung capacity. Can I improve my lung capacity at 56? Anyway thanks for the warmups!
Get in touch with me at brassbrunchbunch.com/ I might be able to help you out. Thanks for using this, I forgot I had this page up.
@@RichardDemy thanks. You have a typo if you want to edit it.
I have a 3/4 and by 2:10 i was in hysterics. Can't get that low. Perhaps after a good night on the whisky. lol
why 440Hz
Ikr
Several reasons. First of all, many fine orchestras take a tuning note at 443 or 444, but what is important is the ensemble to be in tune with itself first. I find that many groups (especially woodwinds) get more sharp as a performance goes on. Although in the states may ensembles tune to 440, they will migrate up to as much as 448. So whatever the constant is, you should match the ensemble even if they are wrong.
Next, I have never noticed a low brass player start to play flat as part of fatigue, so if their pitch drifts it will tend sharp. This is a pedagogical problem that comes from pinching that gets exacerbated with fatigue. In your area, many groups may play 442 or higher, but every musician has to be able to match whatever group they are with. That is why I teach my students to get their instruments and themselves in tune at 440. If they need to push in, that is fine.
3nd, Piano tuners recently have been tuning enharmonically where the octaves are spread slightly. This has given flutes and violins the excuse to play sharper than the bass or contrabass instruments, so at that octave, a violin may be 1 or 2 Hz sharper than the tuba. But seriously with all the vibrato up there, it's just an excuse to be heard above the group.
Now if this was just a jab at why it is not a A-432 then I admit defeat. I actually play a Vintage OTS Saxhorn that is tuned roughly to 432
Because it's the most common tuning standard.
