I like to tell students to imagine having a golf ball in their mouth. I also tell them to open their throat as though they are in the middle of a big yawn. Make sure to also have your students feel of their stomach to ensure they are properly supporting their tone with air. Solid corners on the embouchure are a must! Don’t forget the bowl depth, bore size, and rim size of their mouthpiece either.
Theres two greatest players, one is in america and the other is in Eurasia, my band conductor was actually thought by the one in america, so naturally he’s good
Hey idk if anyone is ever going to see this, but I I am in high school band and I’ve played tuba for about six years. This year I decided to switch to baritone during the marching season because I absolutely hate sousaphone. Because baritone has a smaller mouthpiece, it’s hard for me to play a higher range and my tone is very reedy and my sound sticks out from all the other baritones. I’ve only been playing for a week but I am really try to be good at this and I Think what separates me from other baritone players is that I have more experience playing lower notes and I’m used to having my embouchure a different way. I really need help going from tuba to baritone lol any tips?
imagine your air stream going straight forward you air should be very warm, fast, and dark, but not like a sousa dark, more like a deep forest at dusk kind of dark ? never play louder (or softer) than lovely, meaning that you should never compromise your tone for volume focus your practice time on fundamentals mostly, and when you get to music, slow it down with a met (i use TE Tuner) and focus on articulation, dynamics, and tone especially with sustained pitches. practice time is for learning your music and fundamentals, rehearsal is for playing your music and learning everyone else's parts around you for higher tones, a lot of people will say to imagine your air moving up. personally, i find that doing that makes me super shaky on the pitch and makes me go super sharp. i visualize the high pitch, but like theres a weight heavy weight stuck on the ground (my air) and a string (the pitch) trying to pull me up. it keeps my air steady and fast, as well as grounded, but helps me land on a pitch, rather than reaching up to it, if that makes any sense ?? i hope this helps at all haha, if u wanna talk more my instagram is kai.sano ((:

i just got a used euphonium to learn a new instrument. I play the tuba so my sound was very airy and all it took to fix it was to drop my jaw less.
Gotta go with Steven Mead as to who sounds the best
What instruments do you play? I only play clarinet.
