  • Why dont you play the real excerpt? The hard part?

  • Cheek Puffing does not necessarily affect sound quality, there are many professionals who do it, if it isn't broken, don't fix it.

  • @rubix12321 In some ways it helps at times. I'm a trumpet player and storing extra air in your cheeks can help with passages where there isn't much room to breathe.

  • Yeah, definitely try to keep the cheeks in.. and make sure you have enough air going through the horn that your low E really speaks on time... it was slightly late almost everytime. Details are what gets you gigs.

  • @MrTubaLove This is a common misconception about playing! Keeping the cheeks tight and pulled in can hinder the lips from vibrating. This is not an instruction to puff one's cheeks out however, just let them do what they need to, or what they already do naturally. If it sounds good, don't change it!

  • @PLYC4EVER252 Nope- a DREADED orchestral audition excerpt.

    It's very, very difficult for the tubist.

  • dont puff your cheeks!

  • you have a really nice sound

  • Are you playing with your left hand? It sounds good but I have never seen a left handed tuba.

  • That part of Fountains of Rome is probably one of the most feared of all low brass excerpts, you better do it perfect if you play it for an audition for something that matters.

  • It's a song composed by Ottorino Respighi.
