- In this video, I describe how to change one small, but fundamental thing to get a fuller, broader, darker tone.
Sorry folks, no CC in this one yet. I'll probably add some later.
Thanks for watching! Please like and subscribe!
This very helpful coming from someone who consistently needs to switch between bass trombone and tuba. I am primarily a trombone player.
SAME
I’m currently switching from playing a trombone, for five years, to a tuba
@@passingthetime_ SAME
In a few months I will be buying myself a tuba then swapping to tuba from trombone, a friend of mine is a tuba player and he let's me play his tuba quite often and he's shown me a few things such as the full sound, I sound really good according to him, I just don't have my own tuba
Tromboner
I switched from trumpet to tuba and played a whole year before fixing my sound. Everyone told me that it was because my teeth were closed but didn't mention that I shouldn't purposely buzz.
I see “forced buzzing” most commonly in students that switch from trumpet. They try to use the same amount of embouchure to create sound in a tuba mouthpiece as they would in a trumpet mouthpiece. So they’ll provide structure by creating excess tension in the embouchure and only allow a very small portion of their embouchure to vibrate. The mouthpiece rim will provide structure, and the entire embouchure in the mouthpiece should vibrate.
Same
Yo me too bro
I switched from Barrie Sax to Tuba 😳
Im watching this the day I switched, I hear those words and I was just shocked
I switched from clarinet to tuba and my band teacher said I was doing better then any other tuba player he had ever had it was very difficult so if you are thinking about switching, do it for anyone who is thinking about switching
And ogres are like onions!
Are you double or single buzzing because my old band director who teached for ~15 years said I was the best middle school tubist he had seen and I double buzz and I’m the only tubist I know that double buzz’s and not single
@@CampbellJTuba why would you double buzz if you arent trying to perform multiphonics?
@@aidanpark7705 I might be thinking of something different, Instead of using just my top lip to buzz I use both which might just be tuba. I should know this tho and idk why I don’t, I’m legit about to audition for Allstate
@@youtuba2513 what?😂
I've been a tuba player and yet this still helps me.
just switched from euphonium to tuba and this helped a ton 😊
This video is very helpful, I’m playing tuba as a secondary instrument for a pep band. and after years of not playing it’s hard getting the right buzz. At this moment I’m trying it out at one am lol
For a while I’ve been buzzing on the mouthpiece because that’s what I thought made the sound until recently I stopped making my lips tight and focused more on air…I noticed the fuller sound but I never realized what I changed so I’ve just unconsciously toggled from forcing a buzz to blowing for a nice vibration and it makes me crack. NOW i Can finally contribute to being the only tuba in band
Same, sometimes when we play certain songs, I hear myself getting to that volume/sound I want to be at. I especially need to have a bigger sound because our mvp tuba is now drum major and the only other tuba started this year
This is helpful. I switched from trumpet to euphonium my senior year and played it for 2 years. I am doing tuba this semester.
CONGRATULATIONS 🥳 you have now undated from: wow you can play the tuba well.
To: WoW YoU caN PlaY ThE TUBA
I switched from Bassoon to Tuba and this definitely helped me! Thank you!
How bad is the switch?
I don't have my tuba yet, but I'm guessing that this will help me out alot
I feel I've been doing that because switched from trumpet to euphonium to sousaphone/tuba
See my reply to Nigel Thornberry’s comment.
I did that same order of changing too
Oh my god your a genius thank you.
Your username won the internet, sir, it belongs to you now
Excellent exercise!
The "buzzing" approach is a controlled "burp", requires more embouchure effort, and sounds inferior, you have correctly pointed these things out. Just gently closing the lips and supplying air pressure gently, the air will flow, and the standing wave will modulate the lip pulsation. (It has nothing to do with air speed so don't be concerned about that). Then, removing the resonance of the instrument yield ONLY steady air flowing from the lips. No buzz.
I am a trumpet player; I DO use this approach for every beginner AND I rehab players that have habitually developed the "buzz" forced tone because of all the required buzzing.
However, Unfortunately, almost ALL beginner trumpet students are REQUIRED to buzz the mouthpiece first and develop poor habits of tone as a result. You can't pry this ridiculous approach from most trumpet and band teachers with a crowbar. They will not even try ANYTHING different, and they insist that buzzing the mouthpiece or, cringe, free buzzing is the way to start a beginner.
Any tips on low register for E flat or F tuba players? I am a euph player learning to double on E flat. Really trying to build my whole range on tuba.
What really helped me discover low range is to think about the pressure that I'm applying onto the mouthpiece. If you are playing a really low note that requires very low air pressure, it also requires very little mouthpiece pressure so that your lips have room to vibrate. It's a much easier thing to demonstrate than it is to type, so I hope this made sense! Thanks for your question!
How’s embouchure different between tuba and bass trombone different
Iain Girten embouchure
@@maxd6669 Tuba basically has wider lips, but the embouchure doesn't change because it's the same pitch instrument the only difference is the mouthpiece size.
Thanks for the question! The foundations between the two embouchures and how sound is created are exactly the same. The biggest difference is the amount of embouchure used in sound creation, which is a direct result of mouthpiece size.
I switched from Barrie Sax to Tuba 😳😳
Me too 🥳
I've been pinching my farts out like this for years... It's much better to just let them flow freely.. I feel much better
hey, could you tell me what mouthpiece you use? thanks
In this video I am using a Marcinkiewicz ProLine Concert Hall H2, but I currently use the new Laskey 30H. Thanks for asking!
Hey I play euphonium right now and Have made the honor band but I barley have enough air to play it and wondering on switching to trumpet or piccolo trumpet would you recommend this or would you recommend something else?
This is 9 months later😂but I’ve played tuba for years and now I’m playing French horn. As long as you are ready to learn a new clef I would recommend
Where to buy Perantucci nozzle for tuba
Any tips for low note I’m really am struggling with them
Thanks for the question! My recommendation for a simple low register exercise: Play long tones, descending by a half step in the middle of each long tone. Start somewhere very comfortable, like a Bb or C below the staff. When you start getting into the register where you’re not as comfortable, keep an eye out for things like excess air speed, excess tension in lips, and forcing a buzz to happen. Just focus on supplying very slow air, and let the buzz naturally occur. Also: as you decrease air pressure supplied into the instrument, you need to decrease the amount of pressure provided from the mouthpiece pressing on your face/embouchure. These two pressures need to match in order to achieve maximum efficiency. If you want to read into this further, I suggest reading a book called “Encyclopedia of the Pivot System” by Donald S. Reinhardt. Perhaps I will do a video on the low register soon. :)
YouTuba thank you so much!!😁😁
Mark McDonald thank you 😊
How do I use better warm air?
Imagine using the same technique that you do when you would fog up a window or mirror and apply it to the mouthpiece and the instrument
@@chxser6 whenever i try to open my throat it feels like im choking or it fells weird in the back of my throat,and when a try the same fogging up window tecnique, i cant apply it to tuba
Thanks for the question! “Warm air” is a property of slow air, whereas “cold air” is a property of fast air. So I’m going to assume the question is “How do I use better SLOW air.” Well, slow air is only useful for low register, so you don’t want slow air all the time. With all that in mind, a simple “slow air” exercise would be to say the letter “O,” and hold that shape. Then blow slow air through that shape. Then pick up your tuba and try to play slow air low register notes while re-creating the feeling of blowing slow air through the “O” shape you just created. It’s important to exaggerate the feeling of the shape you create before you pick up the tuba and try to re-create it. Feeling is always more exaggerated than reality. If you’ve ever tried to change your golf swing, you’ll know this. :P
I’ve been pinching for 5 years and I don’t know how to convert
Any tips on high register?
Hello my band teacher says that i have pinched tone and i cant fix it.
Olivia your not helping
@@gamerbeastboy1842 neither are you
I know it’s like a year later but try to act like you have an egg in your mouth the whole time even on high notes
Once you do it for a while you figure out how much air and how open to make each note
