@Michelle Fong Yep. Often, when I tell somebody I play the tuba, they'll laugh and make stupid noises like "oompah oompah" and giggle. But if I have one of my tubas handy, I sometimes offer to give 'em a demo. Sometimes they'll laugh ands say "Sure!". I was fortunate enough to memorize and play J. B. Arban's arrangement of the Carnival Of Venice many years ago, so I crank out enough of it to give them a feel for what a tuba can do. The laugh disappears, and they say something like, "Gee, I didn't know...". I am happy to contribute to their education.
@@chickennuggets5356i don’t understand your point here. While some high schools do offer music courses, it really depends on what type of education you get/how proficient the teacher is in music. While public high schools have a band class, the education is typically subpar compared to what you can get with a private teacher or institution that is specialized in that instruction.
+lelua99 Re. Baby He meant that the Tuba is the youngest of the brass family. Previously the ophicleide which is a keyed bass brass instrument was used.
HeyIExist It looks like a Euphonium. Correct me if I'm wrong, it has four valves, it is smaller, and a Tuba has 5 or more valves. I have never heard of one like that.
lelua99 Well, no there are multiple types of Tubas, the kind he is using is one of the more common Tubas. Another type is a tuba held the opposite direction with 3 or 4 rotary valves. But you can tell its a tuba by the size and I think a Tubist would know if what he's playing is a Tuba or Euphonium.
I used to have access to the exact same model Eb Bass in my brass band, an old Boosey and Hawkes Imperial with the small bell. I'm seriously impressed by his ability to play low notes with his fourth valve and not have them sound vague and muffled, as so often happens with compensating tubas. Some real talent on display here.
Band director: "When you play this measure, it should sound like the heavens re opening up and god himself is bestowing a gift to all of mankind." Tuba: "So louder or softer?"
If wind ensembles have string basses for no apparent reason surely orchestras could afford a euphonium. Listen to a Holst suite or selections from Manzoni Requiem to answer why you would want one. I played euphonium in my high school symphonic band for about 25 years (ok, so it morphed into a community wind ensemble…) and recently made a youtube playlist with over 70 pieces that I played over the years. So while orchestras don’t call for them much there’s still plenty of great music for them to contribute to. Even more popular in Great Britain than in America where I am.
It's funny seeing people talk about cheek puffing. It works for some peoples benefit, it works towards others detriment. It's not wrong, it's all up to what works for the player. There is no one correct embouchure.
You are right , what works for some people just works. I use a double-lip embouchure on my sax and it works well for me. But people still complain about it. I am like dude I have been using this for 15 years, I think I have it down.
NEW INSTRUMENT FILMS: Hi everyone! We’re about to embark on making some new instrument films and we want to hear from you! What instruments do you want to see covered? Reply within the next week! Thanks for watching!
This is the musical instrument I play, but it is a B flat contrabass tuba. I also vividly remember not only playing the instrument, but even before I started playing the tuba, I was hearing it many times on some films and television shows. Some films I can remember that had the tuba as one of the instruments in the film score were Mary Poppins, and The Jungle Book. It even played in Dumbo during the Pink Elephants on Parade. As for television shows, I remember I heard the tuba a whole lot on an old animated comedy series from 1960-1966, which of course I'm referring to the TV series The Flintstones. It is also heard in another show called The Jetsons, which started in 1962.
Great presentation! Demonstrating a compensating EEb tuba is good, because a middle school kid could play it without serious discomfort. BTW, a compensating Eb tuba or a 5-valve noncompensating has about 27 feet total length of tubing.
I play the Bb tuba. It's awesome. I practiced arban's method for cornet so hard that I can go really high and play really fast. I really have to film myself play and upload it.
+Philharmonia Orchestra (London, UK) I was a tuba player before I switched to the euphonium but this excellent video very informal and useful towards potential tubas great work
Obviously this man is a secret euphonium player since others in the comments are claiming he is their euphonium instructor; unfortunately major orchestra shunned the euphonium years ago and continue to do so today. It saddens me to think many euphonium players world wide have to degrade themselves down to playing a tuba or trombone in order to make a living. Why are people not protesting for this? #EuphoniumLivesMatter
Well he teaches the tuba players at my place of work as well, and plays with the BSO. It is really sad, and the only very few euph players make a living off the instrument: internationally acclaimed virtuoso and those in military bands with contracts that last for a certain amount of years (eg. Myself)
The euphonium is not an instrument to be shunned for playing, it's a great instrument for solos, I personally play the trombone but I have high respect for euphonium players they sound so good when played correctly
If you want to hear the original, check out Symphonie Fantastique by Hector Berlioz. It's the last movement. Sometimes, if you're lucky, you can find recordings with the ophicleide or serpent playing the "tuba" parts.
That's the bass line to the 12-bar blues. It's like a framework you can put many many songs on. What he was demonstrating is a style known in jazz called a walking bass line, where he outlines the chords being used while providing rhythm.
Tuba may be the youngest brass instrument, but paradoxically it has the oldest brass instrument name. The ancient Romans played a straight bass trumpet called a tuba. Unlike today, the Roman tuba had no valves or bends. Tuba is simply the Latin word for tube. There should be a site for low brass musicians to upload their creations. Call it YouTuba.
I play a Eb Boosey Soldbron Class A tuba from the year 1916, to me the Eb tuba it's amazing, I love more than C and Bbb, so I have a Vincent Bach 25c mouthpiece and I have to many difficult to play lower notes 😥😥, I gotta buy a Helleberg 120s to play better, I don't know if that mouthpiece is good for my tuba, greetings from Uruguay 👍👍 (sorry for my very bad English)
Does it also do the sort of fuf fuf fuf sound? I was listening to the Richard Harris MacArthur park song and there is a piece during the instrumental section where you hear what I thought was trombones doing sort of a fuf sound on a rapid string of notes. I thought then it may have been tubas.
Hai do you have good advice for my tuba im coming from Bb trumpet and purchased a big Bb tuba it onley has 3 valves but my first tuba dosent have to be too professionale if i dont like playing tuba i can use it as a pot for plants in the garden
Is there such a thing as a tuba-ranged brass instrument that makes a really smooth and consistent, yet deep and resonant sound (like a bass guitar played further up the fret board)? There are plenty of variations of tubas with different sounds, so I'm sure there is one. I would wan't to consider getting a tuba if they had a cleaner tone.
so? it will when today's new composers use them in film scores and other works (like late teens up to just out of college) and it's slowly getting more recognized. just a few decades maybe

Well no, the Tuba can play down to a C0, I’ve yet to see a Bass or contra trombone play as low. But I can play lower than a string bass and contrabassoon on my Tenor Trombone. Oh
I wish sooo much I could have 4 valves and a C tuba. I'm stuck with a BBb which has only 3 valves and it is like the size of an Eb tuba. Sad life of mine :(
I love how the Tubist starts right out with the super fast scale, as if to say, "I can play fast notes! Give me some, please!"
Me too! ;)

I wish the euphonium was used more often in orchestras. It reall is a beautiful instrument
Euphoniums are not used in orchestras much

Ah the joys of playing the tuba...
Yes, blasting it in someone's ears. That never gets old.
EXACTLY
you guys are amazing! I play the tuba and I love it. I hope to be in an orchestra some day!
Thank you very much! It's great to hear you're enjoying playing. Good luck with it all!
It's funny seeing people talk about cheek puffing. It works for some peoples benefit, it works towards others detriment. It's not wrong, it's all up to what works for the player. There is no one correct embouchure.
+Hashbrown R34 its to create a seal because the tuba mouthpiece is big
+Kuiper TM our lips are *)* shaped and the mouthpiece is shaped *D* and to create the seal you use your cheeks
You are right , what works for some people just works. I use a double-lip embouchure on my sax and it works well for me. But people still complain about it. I am like dude I have been using this for 15 years, I think I have it down.
+Hashbrown R34 same
The cheek puffing delays the attack of the note and also removes some control from the embouchure.

It’s not a downgrade it’s a matter of choice
I love brass instruments
Very nice and amazing instrument
That sounded like the song in the Shining, the "scary" one he played @ 1:52.
It is! I was wondering where I heard it!
Dies Irae.
If you want to hear the original, check out Symphonie Fantastique by Hector Berlioz. It's the last movement. Sometimes, if you're lucky, you can find recordings with the ophicleide or serpent playing the "tuba" parts.
Brazil is seing that video, thank you guy.
1:19 is it the subcontra B flat (Bb0)? (the first black key on the piano)
I thing good bass trombone players can do that as well.
Contabass can
So can the cimbasso
On both my euphonium and bass trombone I have gone both below what a piano can play, and above what some of our trumpets can play
If Bb0 is the pedal Bb on tuba or double pedal Bb on trombone, eupho, or bass trombone than yes, that was Bb0
I can play down to an Ab0 on Tenor Trombone
I swear man, this guy must be so massive he makes the tuba look like a euphonium.

Only matters if the tuba makes music that matches you personally. If you like music but not tuba find an instrument that fill that roll.
The important question is: Do YOU want to?
