As someone who is aurally driven and hasn’t had a lot of consistent tuba teachers, this is an incredibly valuable resource with the incredible head filling sound concept! Thank you for sharing these!
I’m glad to hear this helps you. I’ve been lucky to have many great role models and they always encouraged giving back to the “business.”
As usual Chris , you have crafted a fine exercise and deomonstrated it with your great tone. Thank you for all that you do for us all.
You’re too kind. It’s a privilege to be able to give back to the tuba community!
Great exercise! Love doing this kind of stuff 15-30 minutes before going in the pit, gets you locked in, very calm and ready for anything.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Nice video Chris! I look forward to trying this one out. I especially like the climate change "Context" above the video title. Gives it an edge!
I knew it would get some algorithmic flag…times we live in I guess. Hope it helps!
Thank you for this video! Great exercises.
Congrats for the webpage, what i do in my f tuba is play the Bb without pressing any valve i found that its very relaxing and also i can hear more overtones in the tuba, it would nice if you talk about this topic in one of your videos, saludos desde Chile!
Esteban, thanks for your reply! Yes!!! I really encourage tubists to use “false tones” on all keys of tuba to develop their low range. Especially for 3 or 4 valve Bb tubas. I played sousaphone at Walt Disney for 7 years and never needed 4 or 5 valves to be able to play low notes. Good advice! Thanks! I’ll be sure to do a “Pro Tips” video in the future 👍
That's really interesting that you find people need a shift to go below pedal C or Bb. Even on euphonium I have found I can get down to the D right above that without a shift, but I need a shift for pedal Db, C and double pedal Bb.
I encourage players to try and cultivate their “regular” low chops as much as their shifted low range. It’s nice to have options. But there’s a reason that those lowest notes need a little “help” when playing at maximum dynamic!
Thank you for your educational video's. I was wondering what exercises you recommend for my Miraphone BBb-86 tuba with only 3 valves from 1983. I can play the pedal C, but can't go up chromatically to the low G as on a 4 or 5 valve tuba, you know what I mean.
I am lucky that I can play on a 4 valve miraphone BBb 1291 which I may borrow from the orchestra, but my own tuba is also too good and beautiful to leave alone in its case...
When playing on a 3-valve BBb tuba, I use the following fingerings for the “false tones” to come out. 0-Eb, 2-D, 1-Db, 1+2-C, 2+3-B, 1+3-Pedal Bb. These notes are not as full sounding as the notes played with long tubing, but they do work and provide fully chromatic playing on 3-valve Bb tubas.
Thank you!
I can’t really play anything below a D two octaves below without a shift, I’ve tried but it just feels impossible.
Keep trying! I couldn’t either, for many years!
