In this video, I describe how to change one small, but fundamental thing to get a fuller, broader, darker tone.
Sorry folks, no CC in this one yet. I'll probably add some later.

This very helpful coming from someone who consistently needs to switch between bass trombone and tuba. I am primarily a trombone player.

In a few months I will be buying myself a tuba then swapping to tuba from trombone, a friend of mine is a tuba player and he let's me play his tuba quite often and he's shown me a few things such as the full sound, I sound really good according to him, I just don't have my own tuba

I switched from trumpet to tuba and played a whole year before fixing my sound. Everyone told me that it was because my teeth were closed but didn't mention that I shouldn't purposely buzz.

I see “forced buzzing” most commonly in students that switch from trumpet. They try to use the same amount of embouchure to create sound in a tuba mouthpiece as they would in a trumpet mouthpiece. So they’ll provide structure by creating excess tension in the embouchure and only allow a very small portion of their embouchure to vibrate. The mouthpiece rim will provide structure, and the entire embouchure in the mouthpiece should vibrate.

@Angelito5073 Жыл бұрын

For a while I’ve been buzzing on the mouthpiece because that’s what I thought made the sound until recently I stopped making my lips tight and focused more on air…I noticed the fuller sound but I never realized what I changed so I’ve just unconsciously toggled from forcing a buzz to blowing for a nice vibration and it makes me crack. NOW i Can finally contribute to being the only tuba in band

The "buzzing" approach is a controlled "burp", requires more embouchure effort, and sounds inferior, you have correctly pointed these things out. Just gently closing the lips and supplying air pressure gently, the air will flow, and the standing wave will modulate the lip pulsation. (It has nothing to do with air speed so don't be concerned about that). Then, removing the resonance of the instrument yield ONLY steady air flowing from the lips. No buzz. I am a trumpet player; I DO use this approach for every beginner AND I rehab players that have habitually developed the "buzz" forced tone because of all the required buzzing. However, Unfortunately, almost ALL beginner trumpet students are REQUIRED to buzz the mouthpiece first and develop poor habits of tone as a result. You can't pry this ridiculous approach from most trumpet and band teachers with a crowbar. They will not even try ANYTHING different, and they insist that buzzing the mouthpiece or, cringe, free buzzing is the way to start a beginner.

Any tips on low register for E flat or F tuba players? I am a euph player learning to double on E flat. Really trying to build my whole range on tuba.

@youtuba2513 2 жыл бұрын

What really helped me discover low range is to think about the pressure that I'm applying onto the mouthpiece. If you are playing a really low note that requires very low air pressure, it also requires very little mouthpiece pressure so that your lips have room to vibrate. It's a much easier thing to demonstrate than it is to type, so I hope this made sense! Thanks for your question!

Thanks for the question! The foundations between the two embouchures and how sound is created are exactly the same. The biggest difference is the amount of embouchure used in sound creation, which is a direct result of mouthpiece size.

@youtuba2513 4 жыл бұрын

Thanks for the question! “Warm air” is a property of slow air, whereas “cold air” is a property of fast air. So I’m going to assume the question is “How do I use better SLOW air.” Well, slow air is only useful for low register, so you don’t want slow air all the time. With all that in mind, a simple “slow air” exercise would be to say the letter “O,” and hold that shape. Then blow slow air through that shape. Then pick up your tuba and try to play slow air low register notes while re-creating the feeling of blowing slow air through the “O” shape you just created. It’s important to exaggerate the feeling of the shape you create before you pick up the tuba and try to re-create it. Feeling is always more exaggerated than reality. If you’ve ever tried to change your golf swing, you’ll know this. :P

Any tips for low note I’m really am struggling with them

@youtuba2513 4 жыл бұрын

Thanks for the question! My recommendation for a simple low register exercise: Play long tones, descending by a half step in the middle of each long tone. Start somewhere very comfortable, like a Bb or C below the staff. When you start getting into the register where you’re not as comfortable, keep an eye out for things like excess air speed, excess tension in lips, and forcing a buzz to happen. Just focus on supplying very slow air, and let the buzz naturally occur. Also: as you decrease air pressure supplied into the instrument, you need to decrease the amount of pressure provided from the mouthpiece pressing on your face/embouchure. These two pressures need to match in order to achieve maximum efficiency. If you want to read into this further, I suggest reading a book called “Encyclopedia of the Pivot System” by Donald S. Reinhardt. Perhaps I will do a video on the low register soon. :)
