You should have waited for the orchestra to arrive. Nice playing.

[@tubistjoseph]

nakedmambo I think I would have been waiting for a while. This was a recording I made for an audition, hence the ultra exposure. Thanks for checking it out.

[@sagat64]

great sound :)

Muito bom! Antes de começar a estudar sempre escuto vc tocando para me inspirar!

Wow such beautiful tone and control! If you ever want to collab on a video let me know!

I'd love to, I just checked out your page and you have some great content. Find me on FB and we can try to work something out. Joseph Guimaraes.

[@jordansanchez1081]

Amazing performance of this, any tips on practicing it? I’m currently working in it on Bb tuba and it’s been a real challenge so far.

[@Amoslzf]

I totally agree this concerto on Bb tube is much harder

[@user-qq5zn1yn5o]

How many tubes do you use?

[@adrianzachowski2022]

Great playing!!! Which device you used to record this video or which device could you recommend? I wonder becasue I want to buy audio and video recorder - smth like Zoom Q8 or similar. You are my inspiration! Congratulations!

[@tubistjoseph]

Hi Adrian, thanks for the kind words. That video was recorded on Sony HDR-MV1, it’s my go to handheld recorder. The pro is that it has really good microphones, arguably better than the zoom Q8. The biggest downside is that it has a fixed wide lens so videos are better done elsewhere. Seems like when designing this device that the video component was a clear afterthought. I pretty much always have mine with me in my backpack! All the best.

[@matthewgutman6106]

Fantastic job!!! I am working on this piece right now for fun, and I was wondering if there was anyone you took inspiration from? I’m definitely going to try to emulate your style next time.

[@tubistjoseph]

Hi Matthew, thank you for taking time to post on here. This piece is an interesting one because it’s THE go-to solo work asked for in auditions. As a result, most people learn this in a very flat, or ”correct” way that is pretty void of expressive qualities. In fact, even this recording was made for an audition. There are things here that I appreciate, but I would likely make different performance choices in a concert setting. I am a fan of the Øystein Baadsvik’s recording of it. Although a bit quick, it's very musically fulfilling. Other brass player that are a joy to listen to for articulation, note shape, and overall how-to of brass playing are Sergei Nakariakov, Phil Smith, Dennis Brain, Joe Alessi, David Zerkel, among others. Listening to brass players alone, regardless how inspiring they are does put us against a corner. Check out pianists (Avgeny Kissin, Martha Algerich, Vladimir Horowitz) string players (Yoyo Ma, Heifetz, Perlmam, Hilary Hahn, etc) and equally importantly other styles of music. I've been listening to a lot of Jazz recently. A great style for buying into the notion of ”message over handwriting.”

@@tubistjoseph Thank you so much for the quick and helpful reply. Keep up the amazing work!

[@homelessmonke5631]

amazing tone and control! out of curiosity where do you get such a tuba like that from? /what brand?

[@isaac_tuba]

That's a Meinl Weston 2250TLT, the "French Touch" model

[@homelessmonke5631]

@@isaac_tubathank you so much!

[@antoniocampos5906]

Question: What’s the difference between a B flat tuba and a F tuba?

[@pilanger]

Late reply but it means the instrument is pitched in F instead of Bb. The fundamental pitch (F) is higher than Bb so it plays in a higher register. Unlike trumpets or French horn tubas don’t transpose, so both F tubas and Bb tubas read the same notes on the page, but the fingerings are different. Weird stuff.

Bravo!!! Brasil! Joseph só uma pergunta, vc é da CCB?

[@tubistjoseph]

Obrigado Bruno! CCB? Não conheço.

[@Brunaot]

@@tubistjoseph Ah blz, CCB é uma denominação religiosa, congregação cristã no Brasil. Aí é congregação cristã nos estados unidos, mas é da mesma, é o maior grupo musical do mundo, tem muitas tubas, achei que vc fazia parte também. Mas ok, obrigado, vc é fantástico.

[@jdplaystuba]

What key of tuba is that?

[@homelessmonke5631]

that would be a bass tuba so Bbb

How would you practice it

I’m playing this for my freshman jury next semester, on a BBb, it’s hell.

[@its_shxblvrbs1786]

Justin Phillips I’m trying to play it on a Bb as well. Which Tuba is it easiest on? CC or F Tuba?

[@bensexton7350]

Since it’s in f minor I would assume it would be easiest on an f tuba

[@tubadyne]

I’m playing it on BBb too and I’m crying

[@tommyellis7728]

@@its_shxblvrbs1786 the key of the song means nothing as compared to the tuning of the instrument. The range, however, does, and as such, an F tuba would be far easier.

Pode me mandar a partitura

[@amanuelfitsum1677]

Tuba Jesus?

[@mrlemon4330]

Can you help me. I'm trying to play thins piece but I can't play anything over the C above the staff do you have any tips to increase my range with out sounding so strained

[@tubistjoseph]

Hi, I can see why you are trying to learn this piece, it is a lot of fun to play and it's a wonderful piece of music. My advice to you would be to place this piece on the backburner for a little while longer. You don't want to rush building your range because it will likely lead to, like you said, a strained sound. Work on other pieces that will challenge you by being just beyond your current level, maybe something that stays around a C often or that goes up to a D or so infrequently. Work on that part of your range in the practice room, with drones and a lot of relaxation. Don't rush it. Unfortunately, this skill set is not one that we can spend a lot of time working on due to fatigue, so maybe spend 10-20 minutes a day gently working your way up.

[@mrlemon4330]

Do you have any recommend piecee

[@tubistjoseph]

A few pieces that come to mind are - Lebedev Concerto in one movement - Vaughan Williams - Six studies in English folk song - Thomas Stevens - Variations in Olden Style (some of the variations may be a little high, but they can be played as stand-alone variations. They don't have to be played as a complete set) - Alec Wilder - "Effie" Suite These are all pieces you should be familiar with anyways, they will be a great starting point. They are by no means easy or "lesser works" than some of the harder concertos. There is a reason why they are considered standards in the tuba repertoire. Have fun!

[@willtemp9065]

I agree, I couldn’t recommend the six studies in English folk song enough.

[@hafeezaiman2134]

For you opinion sir,is it possible to play this using the Bb tuba,I had try to play thie piece,but I found it very difficult

[@tubistjoseph]

Although the sound on a BBb tuba will be broader than an Eb or F tuba, you should absolutely be able to play it on a contrabass tuba (BBb or CC). Take it slow, and place your focus on clear note starts and in a singing line. Best of luck.

[@jasonmartinez7667]

@@tubistjoseph I'm having trouble with the high notes.What do you recommend to practice them?

[@samuelsong2362]

@@jasonmartinez7667 use a drone and play as high as u can confidently and consistently with a good sound and practice the note above that and then repeat the process and make them sound the same.
