I was watching another person doing a skit of buying your first tuba and he watched this video in the background I found it!!😂

I watched this because I’m now a senior and I wanted to see how far I have come. I can get a pedal Ab on my tuba and can go up to a high D above the staff. To anybody starting out I wish y’all the best of luck. I’ve made most of my best friends throughout school by participating in band. I know it might be hard at times but band helps socially and it teaches you important skills like time management and discipline for school. Band kids are the best behaved kids in the school for a reason. Just keep swimming through the ocean of band and always remember to just have fun.

What is this mess with fingerings? You learn fingerings for Eb tuba, you change for Bb tuba and NEED TO LEARN AGAIN a different fingering? Who is the father of this mess? Why don't you just transpose a sheet music to a suitable key and learn ONE fingering FOR ALL brass instruments??? 0 = C, 13 = D, 12 = E, 1 = F etc... Same system with tone, semitone, 1.5 tone... WHY everybody does that nonsense? SERIOUSLY! Can somebody PROPERLY explain? Just look at the score! So many different keys for different instruments, NO PROBLEM with that! And think about kids how they struggle with this stupid system...

I'm in grade 8 concert band and I play euphonium and my band teacher recently stole a sousaphone from his old school and I am now learning it. I can tell you it is alot lower...

Hi, can you send me the ring tones for the song the last of the Mohicans???? Please

I really liked the side view trombone lesson do you have more 😁

Very cool. Can we get multiphonics next?

Wow❤❤❤

The tuba isn't very loud but it is the biggest brass instrument which it is incredible

Thank you so much. Learned it in under 30 minutes.

Keep ur air steady

Can we contact Allison today? This seems to be the only one of her vids with comments still enabled. My last chance. Seems to be no other avenues... I need a video on what to do after 'the first five notes' on the trumpet. Allison's vid was the only one I've seen that got me going well on the first five notes. It was the only one that clearly showed she was blowing down across the lower lip. Perhaps that was the big thing. I don't know. But then playing the notes along with her worked well, too. It looks like Allison stopped about 5 years ago. Hopefully this plaintive little message will get out there to someone who knows what's doing and hopefully we can get more help from Allison ?

I am totally blind, I have never really touched a tuba before, so can you try to explain to me how are you changed to those two notes again?

Actually c is 1and 3 or just 4

Thank you I’m a new tuba player

She is good

Valves 1n3 for a C, must be a Bb tuba?

The way that those notes look, they look different than when I played the tuba in high school.

My respect ✊

Thank you too much @Allison Jensen

I WAS DOING THIS LAST NIGHT AND ALL OF A SUDDEN MY GRANDPA WOKE UP AND STARTED YELLING: HELP, HELP THE TITANIC IS SINKING!!!!!

I think this is fine for beginning instruction. If you're just starting out on an instrument, you need to learn the basics on how you play the notes before you can develop your ear for what is sharp and flat. Once you develop your ear, you can adjust embouchure and tuning slides to develop your sound.

U were playing half notes not full but the f u played full

Allison, on the Sousaphone it's the same notes and the same fingering ?

I have to learn tuba in about 4 hours to play at a pep band game News flash- I played tuba plus 2 other instruments. Bass clarinet and bari sax

I am blind and I’ve never touched a tuba before, can you tell me exactly how you did what you did?

3/4 tuba forever

Why are most beginning tubists taught on the BBb when it seems like most professionals prefer C tubas?

Go to the low F first and third Fingering

Thank you it really helped

There are several suggestions I’d like to (respectfully, I hope) offer to improve the usefulness of this tutorial: show a closer views of your mouth and right hand - new players MUST learn what a good embouchure looks like from the front and the side; acquiring and maintaining good hand position is essential, particularly for faster passages of music; some of the spoken instructions are not very clear - perhaps use some kind of software to point at the note you’re playing; your F is quite badly out of tune, which may be a fault with the instrument, but a new player needs to hear the notes well in tune to be able to internalise the pitch. It’s very commendable to provide a tutorial for such an under-represented instrument (which I myself enjoy playing); please don’t take offence at my suggestions; they’re meant in a spirit of musicianship. Thank you.

My music teachers never looked that good😊

I don't understand. You're trying to make a tutorial without a good aperture, and you're out of tune. You can hear the waves and the unsteadiness. Other than that, it's a good video.

I can hit these notes but it's a completely different valve combination. I think your tuba goes deeper than mine. I don't have that large tube that doubles up next to the highest large tube as you look at it. but it's a 3 valve and i thought it was a 3/4. Perhaps it's the next higher tuba up in the range.

My 3 valve doesn't sount at all like that open valve. :( what tuba do i have?

Nice Tuba!

I have baritone

Maam, can you please make a video of soausaphone and tuba and their fingerings from lowest note to higher ? Thank you ♥️🙏🏼

Is the tuba and saousaphone have the same fingerings maam ?

Luckily i didn’t get kicked out of euphonium

how do you hit a low b flat on a tuba for four measures b-cuz that is what i have to do ps i am new here
