I know this is about 4 years too late, but some tips on range would be your scales. Also, your breathing looks nice but in the higher register just remember to keep pushing that air through!
@walrusheadzhang especially playing stuff the tuba really wasnt meant to play. but can be done if someone like htis guy is willing to try. i played tuba for close to a decade
@Taydizmftw How much pressure do you use when you play? I had to really train my self on that when i started playing Contrabass trombone (very similar mouthpiece to a tuba! I even use tuba one as my spare :) )
You need to reduce pressure and practise the high notes with the seal on your lips, start out slow doing it how ever you can, and think about it, and see what is "bad" in your technique and work back up the register with" good" technique and it will all seem easier. Hope that makes sense!
@happybuttface99 You noticed Asians made nearly everything? It's pretty sad you hate them, because they're much smarter than you. Homeless people are hella smarter than you.
Good job you really pulled it off well but i would suggest working on your tone, just practice long tones, do them for five minutes at the beggining of practice and five at the end. But other than that great job.
@traviscamen97 im a junior, almost senior at RHS, and i actually played that as a solo in an 8th grade concert. the only rough part was about half way through on the high Ebs
Great to see other tuba players with very decent technical skills. :) Props to any tuba player out there that can move their fingers and play some runs twice as good as those "woodwinds". :P
@pkoholic I actually assume that content posted for the world to see is going to be content WORTH viewing, negating the need to read anything. This is, after all, YouTube. Not YouReadAndThenWatchTube.
do u hav the notes? oh and to get the water out take off da mouthpeice n spin ur tuba to the right slowly and play hit the buttons. then just pour the water out wher u blow into
if its low a natural its second valve and low a flat is first try playing regular b flar and then go down. you just have to loosen your amberature a little more than u do to play b flat
Like, from low Bb, play down to as low as you can go. And work on it everyday, that helps lip control and stregnth. Then after you get as low as maybe a low C under the low Bb, hen work on high. Go to as high as possilbe with good tone, and work up one more partial. Do it all open notes, go from Bb, F, Bb, D, F, Bb. Maybe even higher. Keep working!
Your tone sounds a little pinthed. But other than that, and a few gruangey notes, awesome! I know this sounds wack, but to improve high register, play low low low.
Maybe all you idiots never heard me the first time. If you think it sucks, PICK UP YOUR OWN DAMN TUBA AND POST YOURSELF PLAYING IT BETTER. Otherwise, quit your bitching. He did a damn fine job. No, tubas aren't technical instruments, but if they can be played with any amount of technique, they sound great. I'd rather have 1 tuba playing Carnival of Venice well, than 5 doing a Bach Chorale. So, again, if it sucks so bad, POST YOUR OWN.
Nice. I think ima take u up on that offer of posting a video of this. not cause i'm a cock trying to prove ur wrong, but cause it sounds fucking beast when u play it.
Haha. Playing fast means nothing... A true tuba player knows how to hold out and sustain a low note for support towards the whole band. Tubas are NOT made for playing fast! He tried and it sounded alright. Tubas forever!!
I agree, this was a very good run through of the piece. And to all you idiots who say "This sucks." then to you all I say, pick up your own damn tuba and post a better video!
it doesnt suck the camera does and in my opinion if this was first run through it was good if it wasnt he should have practiced a little bit more and gotten through all the scratched notes
that was pretty cool. I am going to sound like a jerk saying this, but if you know it is going to be hard playing in the higher octive, why not try the lower octive
that is class. anyone who sais otherwise is racist. racism is disgusting
