In memory of Austin

Wym?

@@HunterDavisTubaPlaying Austin was a legend, for it was he who bared Cecil’s lost banner, and still holds the title of best lead Sousa player to ever grace the dmb. He would play this all the time, even incorporating it into the warmups, so much so, that it was know by everyone to be “Austin’s Jam.” Austin, a valiant marcher, an inspiring leader, a blue connoisseur, and most of all a good friend. You will not be forgotten!🤌

The harmonies at 7 and 16 are too close to each other in that register to ring well and is extremely muddy. I'd change it from a third to a fifth so instead of sousa 1 on an Eb make it a G and alter the rest of the harmonies to be a 5th above sousa 2

[@HunterDavisTubaPlaying]

I agree with you with the notes at measure 7. They are in the lower register and don't sound that good. Keep in mind I was 15 when I wrote this and had no knowledge of musoc theory or anything like that. But I do think the notes at measure 16 sound okay. They are in the upper register and I don;t think the recording here does it justice. Try playing it in a real setting and let me know what you think.

Hi there! I'm trying to learn about this instrument, what's the LOWEST note it can play?

[@HunterDavisTubaPlaying]

chivi hotaru Hey!!!! So it really depends on how long you’ve been playing. I’ve been playing for about 4 years now. Typically in music you won’t see anything lower than a pedal f. But in general they can play to about a note or two lower that double-pedal Bb. Hope that helps!!! Let me know if you need me to clarify any more or if you have any other questions!!!!

[@HunterDavisTubaPlaying]

chivi hotaru I’m not quite sure what you mean

[@yusukeurameshi9837]

Hunter Davis I think it’s a bb flat

[@HunterDavisTubaPlaying]

Beat qualify yes

[@felixplaystuba6937]

A well experienced Tubist can play An E0, but for new tubists usually y’all stay around Bb1

I've been playing the sousaphone for Abt a year and a half now looking to get a scholarship from it I'm in the 12th grade do u have any advice from tubist to another?

[@matthewdickerson3254]

Same here I'm a tuba player and a senior in highschool looking for scholarships

[@HunterDavisTubaPlaying]

Sorry for my late response. I am in college and do have a scholarship for tuba playing. Audition: -All 12 Scales -Have at least 2 pieces ready to play. One lyrical and one technical. I only had to play one piece and I played a technical one. -Chromatic scale -SIGHTREADING. Know cut time. Know 3/8, 6/8, 9/8, and 12/8. Know the difference between "Eight note = tempo" and "Dotted Quarter note = tempo." Stuff like that. -Low notes must be open and clear. High notes must be open and not pinched. Be confident. Play like a soloist in your audtion. Fill the room up. Make the dynamics yours. Your piano doesn't have to be as soft if yoyu make your forte louder. And vice versa. Any other questions, feel free to ask. Hope this helps!
