We have only one tuba in our 8th grade band. He is the worst player ever!!!!!!! He has been playing for three years and can hardly play his Bb scale. The worst thing is we have our big final concert next week and his has this note in the Lion King that sticks ouy really badly. Sometimes he gets it and well there is when he doesnt. Do you guys have anything I could tell him that he could do to hit that note? Thanks.

What is the note? My advice is to drop his jaw, open the back of the throught and air is free, use it. Oh and get a tuner ><

well, if it's a high note, tell him to tighten the corners, use more air, and think above the pitch. and tell him to practice intervals.

tell him flat out to keep his mouth firm . . . I can't spell obisure? Anyways . . . and tell him to use more air. Tubas are supposed to be loud . . . especially when you have one. He needs to keep everything firm and keep a steady air flow. This is coming from a tuba player.

If a tuba player can't play the B flat scale (2 octave) after at least two year's experience, that player is lost. IT'S THE EASIEST FREAKIN' SCALE FOR GOD'S SAKE! stressed Anyway, that's coming from a tuba player.

If he's been playing for three years now, then he's doomed to a life of sucking a** and playing badly.....He should at least be able to play the Bb scale in 16 notes by now.....He seriously needs to shapen up if he plans on getting anywhere with the tuba. Other than saying he sucks, though, I think he needs to open the back of his throat. When he breaths in, he should fill his lungs from the bottom up. Tighten the ombouchure, drop the jaw, breathe good. Nothing else to say, really. But I know how it is to have a sucky tuba player. I've been playing for four years, and we got a new tuba player today. The guy hasn't even touched a tuba before, so I hafta teach him everything from scratch.

I hear if you work on the lower notes it tends to help with your higher notes- give that a try. 4laugh
