Bass clarinet here, I am preforming this song for a concert, and it's surprising how similar tuba and bass clarinet parts are

[@Thewalkerfrll]

Bass clarinet and tuba always have similar parts in my band😭😭

[@loganplaysbassclarinet]

yeah as a fellow bass clarinet, bass clarinets tend to have similar if not the same parts as the tuba, trombone, and just low brass in general, which is cool and all but it's even better when we get our own unique parts

[@noahstoffel4509]

It’s because bass clarinet is treated like the wood wind tuba more than a bari sax and almost have similar key

Used to play the Tuba from 1997 to 2001. We are really the back bone and the foundation of any music. Kudos guys!! Well played!! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

[@kristopherrivas602]

finally someone made a tuba recording of this song, a tip (for Bb tuba) is the only time your gonna have the time to use 4 for C is measure 1-28, 74-78, and from 113-127 also something that helps in the beginning is having a sign that you have to take a breath so theres not a random pause.

[@elontrusk3010]

We were going to play this but somehow our flutes kept on messing up so many times that our band director called it off

[@chase_____]

Don't know if you director/private lesson teacher told you not too, but if not; if you're going to puff up your cheeks make sure to keep your corners tight on your mouth. And like I said in the previous video, keep your face set during a rythem like or similar to: an eighth note followed by an eighth note repeating. Doing these things will drastically improve your responsivness, reduce cracking, and probably make your overall tone better; tuning too!

Respect the grind 💪

[@Eta_Carinae__]

I know it's hard, but with your pedal, try and keep the volume as consistent as possible. Controlling your breath means using even more air, so stagger your beathing accordingly. If your being graded, this can be consequential.

[@deathedell215]

i feel like the tubas should organize their breaths at the beginning, so at least 1 is always playing

[@guysensei3867]

Yea stagger breathing is definitely essential

Bro nobody but our advanced wind ensemble or maybe less advanced but still advanced symphonic band could pull this off unless we individually practiced

[@youtuuba]

Some tips: Concentrate more on producing an even, smooth tone; there is no need to have a harsh or blatty or edgy sound. When stagger-breathing, work on each player fading out, getting a breath, and then fading back in with as little 'chiff' as possible when restarting the note.

[@OnTheCorner33]

[@WickedWitchOfTheSouth]

Literally nothing wrong with puffing your cheeks. It’s a myth nurtured by elitist musicians and traditionalists. If it helps the musician perform, then it is correct to utilize. In fact, it helps for some musicians to puff their cheeks on certain instruments. Especially lower winds like Tuba.

[@cadenleeripberger]

They have a different rhythm for some reason. Also it's marcato for every note and the extra rhythm is marked staccato and says "MP" for staccato, so they're playing it right.
