  • l love Tuba

  • Also: Go Jenna!

  • What's with this strange fixation about puffing of the cheeks or not?

    Far more important is to use lots of air, and to create a large resonance chamber in your mouth by dropping your jaw and keeping your toungue down/out of the way (think "hot potato!"). Also lift your ribcage and widen your throat (like when you yawn) to make room for air, and use your abs to help set off the notes, like when you cough.

    If puffing the cheeks impairs your playing, avoid it. Otherwise, it's a non-issue.

  • I find it harder if you do puff your cheeks. O.o

  • @rollerblada24 Hell no! ive played tuba for 4 years and during the first two years i puffed cheeks because i thought it was correct but when my teacher after 2 years showed me the proper way, much better sound and easier to play 8th notes and 16th notes, so if you say that you should puff cheeks, you obviously dont play tuba or any other instrument. But good job jennakun, beside cheeks lol

  • @tubamarius It wasn't my teacher who told me that. And you know actually it really doesn't matter if i puff my cheeks, at least for me =)

  • @Impss12

    no, sorry, it's bullshit. I know your teacher says that you shouldn't do it...the sound has nothing to do with your cheeks...it depends on the person.

    if you puff your cheeks, it also doesn't have an effect on your embauchure

    e.g. watch gene pokorny, i think he actually can play the tuba. theres no " recept" for playing tuba, when it sounds good and works for you, it's alright.

  • @tubamarius Actually, it does, if u puff your cheeks then whole breath is not goming out, something stays in...

  • IT DOES NOT MATTER IF YOU PUFF YOUR CHEEKS.

    WATCH SOME OF THE GREATEST TUBA PLAYERS OF ALL TIMES!

  • your a horrible player if u take a breath after every note
