  • your voice is kinda high but your skills are great

  • i thought that was a baritone...im confused..

  • @MrsMichaelJackson101 no it is just a small 3/4 size tuba

  • Yes. Badonerful and TheMiz21100......those comments were bad form guys.

  • Yes guys give him a break. He probably just started. Badonerful whatever the hell your name is, you're the fag in this conversation. Way to put this boy down just to make yourselves feel good. He isn't bad, he's just fine at his level. You guys probably suck! 321waldo is correct and badonerful and Themiz21100 are pathetic fags.

  • @TheTubaKid Hate and ignorance and pointless criticism seem to be all some youtubers on here are capable of. Who the hell is Badonerful that we should listen to him? I personally AM a professional tubist in the LA area and found this video charming. Don't let haters like Badonerful spoil it for you. Just don't entertain their childish impulses. As for TheMiz21100...you are a sychophantic snake. You didn't make a tuba video so shut the hell up dweeb.

  • @belugafishgod Yes you tell them. They probably suck at tuba. It's no doubt that they are childish losers

  • wow guys good job being jerks to the kid. It's nice to know that you have to go around telling a kid he stinks when honestly he doesn't. Have you ever thought that maybe he has just started? I had only just started when I was in 8th grade yet I have gone pretty far. So in conclusion stop being a jerk to someone you don't even know just to make yourself feel better because you probably aren't very good yourselves.

  • Comment removed

  • youre in 8th grade and your playing simple songs like that? FAGGOT! even im a better tuba player than you

  • Yeah, work that tuba boi

  • i play the tuba! i am the shortest person and i play the tuba!

  • oh and good job lol!!! you sounded really good!!!!!! oh and im a girl tuba player im the only one in my school so i have to play loud! lol

    and this worked exspecially on the rap around or sauxaphone

  • one thing i noticed was ur stomach ur breating was short little breaths and one thing you can do is wen u take a big breath say how backwards like wah it will help alot trust me i play tuba and i play for pepband and their are alot of songs that u need to play loud and them big breaths inproved my sound so much and my sound is alot clearer and i am alot louder so if you do this brathing it should work.

  • I'm a tuba player myself.

  • lol that was awesome!

  • Pretty nice! I'm currently a sophomore in high school. None of the pieces I play are that fun... lol

  • oo! that seems fun! i wanna play that!yeah,i'm a girl tuba player as well. would anyone who knows the fingerings for that song send them to me? lol. anyways,good job! hmm... maybe i should play my tuba for my church some time...

  • For a young player and probably not too far from just beginning, you're doing well. Overall good sound but had some tempo problems. Yeah, the foot tapping should go bye-bye. If you just HAVE to tap, just tap your toes inside your shoes without it showing to the audience. Keep at it, you're doing well.

  • Honestly, I think you did a fantastic job. I'm only a first year tuba player... and yes.. I am a girl player.... so if someone was going to ask me that.. its a yes... people think its wrong that I'm allowed to play tuba because I'm a girl... But I think it was really good... GOOD JOB!!

  • Nothing wrong with being a girl tuba player. The tuba player with the Philadelphia Orchestra (one of the finest in the world) is a girl in her early 20's named Carol Jantsch!  I started on tuba in the 6th grade and it's a wonderful instrument!

  • Yep.. ur right. You should have seen what happened at UM when they found out that she made it in. Going along with that, last year, two girls playing tuba sat on the top two chairs in our top band at school.

  • nice job

  • nice,you need lesons.

  • sounds awesome, i'm gonna start playing at my church lol

  • nice...good stuff :D

  • are you a begginer arent you?

    i dont want offend you

  • Good job! Nice, loud sound. You should stop tapping your foot. Tapping your foot while playing does keep the tempo, but you will have to breath more often, which isn't really good because tuba is the instrument that uses the most air. Also, if you want to hit the higher notes more easily, just like PanzerSteppenwolf said, you have to take deeper breaths. You need to use air SPEED, as well.

  • Foot tapping rlly has no affect on your breathing. Speaking as a tuba player of 8yrs. Though it does not look professional and , great example here, tempts him to ignore the piano rythm, notice him correct himself! and change to tapping on the off-beat!? ladies & Gentleman we have a non-functional tap! Valuable wast of concentration, not air! I point the finger at the mistaken logic of mr flute here not 'LittleGriff'. Do not criticise another instrument/family out of hand

  • Airspeed is only really applicable to flute, air SUPPORT is much more important ie a constant high volume of air. This guy is quite good and had very good tone for 14/15? Piccolo is talking out of his bottom! TubaJosh

  • Air speed actually applies to all instruments...in a way. I do agree that support and the amount of air is essential, though. In brass (I play a little tuba, actually), it's velocity that gets notes to their next overtone...

  • If you don't get what I'm trying to say (I'm bad at explaining sometimes), I mean that depending on how fast your air is, that's how high thenotes can go. For brass, many fingerings for different notes are the same, so the velocity of air pushes it to the next note it should play.

  • Actually, I was trying to say the same thing. He was tapping off-beat...or kind of. Plus, it does affect your playing, though. It makes you waste more energy in tapping, so you don't get the full sound you want.

  • nice job *claps*

  • No! No tapping of the foot as you play! Apart from that, it was cool.

  • Yer pretty good :)
