Great performance, really great tone and vibrato! My main suggestion from me is to work on centering each note, practicing slurring between 2-3 notes for multiple reps until you can get the transitions as smooth as possible. This will help with pitch accuracy and any tough slur sections, but bravo! 👏

Sensacional!

Bellissima , fantastatico........estasiante !

Still better than us in 03

Very beautiful. Thank you.

Богатый звук, отличное воспроизведение. 👍👍👍

Perfect dinamica! Where R U now after 8 years?! I'd like to follow you.

This is so freaking good I'm crying, I aspire to be this great

Sounds pretty good to me. Musically, I'm a 3.

Is that not Bach's prelude in c major?

Beautiful.

So this is what old RRHS band looked like o.o

Insane performance! You hit some of those tones a little low, but I couldn't have done it better.

where are the violins? ???

AWESOME!

Where did you get the sheet music for this piece?

Prachtig 👍👍👍

você poderia me mandar esse solo?

I never realized that the piano accompaniment to Ave Maria was "The Well Tempered Clavier"

I'm learning to play the trumpet and it's watching videos like this that give me inspiration and determination to press on and give it the best that I've got. Thanks for sharing.

Beautiful, Sir!

low brass needs to be brought out more, trumpets trying to out play each other didn't work, mostly just volume control on that part, tuba was solid, when you have some fast moving notes, trumpets unless you know you can pull off a run clearly, just ghost it, try and hit the notes that you have the accidentals on, but all and all it was pretty good for the complexity of the song, wouldn't mind seeing the full 7min version ;)

Awesome tone! I wish I could play that well on my tuba!

Raul! I was talking with your dad the other day and he told me about this. Beautiful job, bro! Good luck in your new career and future endeavors!

A perfect column of air and a very good mouth ! Great technique and beautiful instrumental musicality ! Congratulations !

Bravo

I don't know what to say. It was just beautiful.

I got to work on my range... that high C sounds awesome.

super gespielt!

I agree, some good interpretation, but an accompanist's worst nightmare!!!

great job, especially wit the high range. good tone.

n'importe quoi

awesome clarity in the high range and beautiful articulation.

I am a Tuba player as well here in South-Africa. I love the tuba music. I know from my piano experiece how many hours it takes to get a piece like this perfect, and I just want to say congratulations. :)

Beautiful.

Desafinado :/

i am a sophomore and have always had a passion to play the tuba this video has showed me how right that passion was u play excellently

Doctor Mark Nelson?!?! He's awesome!

*whispers* my soul

You have managed to do the seemingly impossible. Sound good with a tuba on video. Video quality is so much harsher than live audio. The fact that you kept a very good tone throughout this piece amazes me. For this I applaud you.

woooow fantastic...!!!

Thankyou

Yo yo... Wonderful vid. My younger brother was formerly a flabby. He changed his body from 285 lbs of pure fat to 203lbs of genuine lean muscle mass. We think it is amazing! I just registered myself coz I'm looking to get more impressive muscles. He made use of the Muscle Building Bible (Look in Google)...

The bass player was crazy good.

This group is not too bad! They are really jamming!

schifo

hahaha this is just great :)

Please tell me you aren't a trombone professor...

I recommend this video. KZbin is perfect for this kind of info.My friend had been bullied. He stated he was intending to get bigger. I chuckled... But then within weeks he packed on 40lbs of genuine lean muscle mass. He tried the Muscle Building Bible - Google it. No one dares to bully the man now. :-) I signed up a few days ago. And the mans emails are fucking great!!!
