This video has helped me out tremendously. This instruction is priceless! Thank you for sharing
That is great to hear!
Seeing you play all these years makes me feel like tuba is not only a support sound, but the ability to be a very complex soloist instrument. Thank you good sir 👍
Tuba can be more complex than it looks!
I wish that resources like this had been available when I started playing over 50 years ago. We were taught to spread our lips and to smile to play in the upper register which was why it was so difficult. Thanks for making information like this available for the beginning players of today so that they may start with good fundamentals and not have to try to correct bad habits that many of us were taught in the past. While I haven't played in 40 years, since I had to sell my first non-school owned horn I bought after leaving school, I still enjoy learning, especially topics involving music and playing.
As a trombone/euphonium player, this video helped me immensely. Thank you!
That is great to hear!
I'm Japanese tuba's player.
thank u for making the video.
i want to be great tuba's player.
I have to practice a lot for that.
Look at this video and study,
And I'll try to get used to a wonderful one like you.
Hello
I have some news for Japanese tuba players: My Complete Tuba Method is soon available with Japanese text and subtitles.
Thanks so much! You've solved part of the mystery of my diminished high range. Decades ago, I doubled on Tuba, and Euphonium. My high range on Tuba was more accessible back then. After 20+ years playing only Contrabass, and Bass Tubas, I find myself working harder than I think I should be...I will say, that the difference in ease of high range playing is markedly different, at least more than a mere whole step, when playing C Tuba, vs BBb...C Tuba in my case being a Miraphone 186, BBb a B&S 101
Good to hear! Keep working on it
4:54 this man really just made a tuba mouthpiece sound like a trumpet mouthpiece 😳
I just picked up tuba playing again after 28 years and have been struggling with the high register. This video helped me recognize that I’ve had the wrong approach. Thanks, I now know what to practice.
I like the way you educate us, sometimes in a weird way, but it is really effective!
Thank you, Øystein.
What an absolutely amazing tutorial! Thank you!
Wow, I cannot believe how much this has helped me. It helped me see how a brass instrument works, especially the fruits. Thank you.
Deep and complete. Thanks you too much.
Great tutorial, not only for tuba but also for tenor trombone and bass trombone👍🏻
Very good explained! Thank you very much!!!
Brilliant as always Øystein!!
Thanks Jeff!
Thanks so much Mr Baadsvik. Very helpful video! Was an honor to meet you in Minnesota a few years ago.
Bingo! The ultimate concept!
Thank you for your help!
Hi!, I’m a huge fan, I love your work keep it up!! I look up to you!
A wonderful teaching method. Super information and fantastic delivery.
Wow.
I’m speechless.
So so simple yet so powerful. Thank you for this.
Got my playing to a fairly accomplished level without much instruction in my development phase. This came with bad habits that I chose to overlook as my playing didn't seem to suffer, I always was complimented greatly on my playing so I figured it wasn't that big of a deal! Well, severe injuries compounding with bad posture/breathing habits day to day (not even when playing!) has put me out for almost half a year. Just now retraining the way I breathe in physical therapy, had poor diaphragm/core activation with flared ribs. Now trying to play with good mechanics, I feel like I've never played before! I can't play in the staff without huffing into my chest, squeezing the back of my neck, etc. When I was younger this didn't cause me any issues, but now it causes severe pain to do so. Take this seriously, especially if you are a younger player that doesn't understand the importance! I'm only 30 and ignoring basic breathing and posture alongside injury and manual labor has destroyed my body. Only now seeing the true importance of it all. I look forward to correcting these issues and reaching new heights in my playing!
Thanks so much for this pedagogical resource, it's great for any aspiring tuba or brass player in general. I found my high range got immediately clearer, focused and more controlled when I held all these concepts consciously within my brain. I'll definitely come back to this when I start falling back into old habits!
Very nice to hear! If you should want a much more comprehensive resource, pleas consider my premium course: academy.baadsvik.com/courses/complete-tuba-method
This helped me so much thanks😊😊😊
this video helped me a Lot
This helped so much
Mr. Baadsvik, you are the best tuba player of the world!
The best. .
Best explanation I have seen.
Genial maestro...
Wow 😯 THANKS Mr Oystein 🙏 This is awesomely well explains and Demonstrated 🙇🙇🙇
Thanks
This I think will help a LOT! Something to think about insead of just going for it. I think that I as well as a younger fellow tuba player friend of mine could definetly use. Icm definetly sending this to her
Sounds good
Excelente aula 👏👏👏🇧🇷
Great wisdom as usual! Thank you for sharing.
My pleasure
I have an audition tmrw this is helpful!
Thank you so much is really very helpful
Happy to hear that
I was essentially self- taught in the beginning, and no one ever explained to me that it was all in the tounge! I thought you physically had to move your lips, which obviously caused me to run out of lip space and overpinch. This should help a lot, thank you!
Thank you so much for this video! It helped me out so much, and I gotta say everything makes much more sense now!
Ty so much, gonna try this on my euphonium 🎵💚
A fellow euphonium player?
You’re part of the reason why I chose Tuba. These tips are priceless sir thank you
Thanks
THIS VIDEO MAKES ME A LOT MORE KNOWLEDGABLE THAT I CAN SHARE TO MY TUBA BROS! THANKS!! YOU ARE AMAZING!
This is very well explained. Thank you, Oystein!
thanks!
So enjoying the tips here for tuba. As I play piccolo down to contrabass flute, yes, more air is needed for low notes. It is good when composers and string taught conductors realize how low notes require so much more air to sustain a forte marking. And give rests or permit staggered breathing over several instrumentalists. I like the more narrow embrouchure for high notes to achieve all volume levels.
It’s fun to hear that you can use these tips on flute
Never thought I would find a contrabass flute player
Playing lower is so much harder for me on a tuba - at least when you’re originally a trumpet player :)
Great video! Thank you for posting. I really enjoyed watching you perform at ITEC in 2019.
Thanks, happy that you liked it
I am glad I came across this video before I was experienced enough to develop some bad habits!
Thanks for the great tips. What really helps me to play high notes on the tuba is, that I also play tenor horn, trombone, trumpet an flugelhorn and practice high notes on them too. I already use some of your tips on all instruments, but some things are new to me and I definitely will try them out.
Gregsons "The World Rejoicing" Bb Bass part lead me here
That is very cool and well explained! Actually, there is some physics background to what was explained with the river: It is a continuity equation which was developed by Venturi. It states that the volumetric flow rate (pipe diameter times flow velocity) within a continuous gas flow is always constant. This means that the flow velocity increases as soon as the pipe diameter (or the river broadness) decreases. Some physics which you can use in order to annoy your tuba teacher ;-)
I play trombone and it is Working as well
Thank you from Brasil
I dont even play tuba i play trumpet and this is the most helpful video yet
Thank you so much for this omg it made a huge difference I was told to just blow hard but clearly not :)
This is such a fantastic video, I’ve been struggling so much with building my high register. I’ve been looking for a video just like this! This is incredible!!
Happy to help
i have all county auditions today so thanks for this lol
شكر لك
Is there a video to play louder low notes? Like what are some excercises
Super erklärt👍
Cool
Oh ho! Found my clarinet teacher. Whoops
you are (insane) good
Thank’s!
Does this also help with centering pitches perfectly??
The viedos are great! I have not played for more than 40 years and am trying to get back into it. I can easily play from the lowest E to a middle of the staff D. Consistently hitting the E or F is painful. When playing the higher notes should I be setting the middle of my mouth lower? To play the high notes should my lower lip be resting on the bottom rim of the mouthpiece? Thanks for all your help! I'm doing something wrong and don't know another Tuba player to help me. Enjoy!
Muito boa sua explicação
The man, the myth, the legend. Øystein Baadsvik
funny how the low, medium, and high note examples are either B flats, naturals, or sharps (I know it's a B because it's a Tuba, Bass Clef)
teach me your powers oh wise one
amazing work; how did you explain it, video quality, info... NIce job professor!
thank you I need help and motivation to start playing again
I have been playing the baritone b.c close to the euphonium but it has a little high range. You could say that I've been playing it for more than a year almost two. I have three issues,
1) I don't tap my foot when I play (I try it but it became a habit)
2) I stutter if I get nervous and play for a little while
3) Lastly, I can; 't reach the high notes at all starting from the high C.
I would be grateful if anyone could help me. :)
I'm a tubist in my freshman year of high school and think this will help me out tons, also I want to learn another brass instrument, what would be your recommendation for me?
Euphonium
just a question, what model of this mouthpiece or what measures so i can have a reference? Please.
I play a Helleberg mouthpiece. It doesn’t have any numbers on it.
@@tubaad tanks
my band teacher told me i should use low note air on my high notes, is this correct? we were playing lip slurs but he encourages us to use this technique in daily practice
It depends what your teacher means with low note air. If he means steady air, good inhalation and good posture- then I agree. If he means thick air I disagree :) High notes need thinner air.
Good tips! How high can you play? I can currently get to a G6, but I want to know how high the tuba can possibly go! Haha.
I guess I should make a video where I check how high I can play!
@@tubaad Oooh yeah. That I MUST see. Haha.
Qual a possibilidade de vir ao Brasil???? 🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷♥️
Njce, he started posting tips after I quit
will this video help for a euphonium/trombone player
Definitely!
I extremely aggree i am a tuba player in grade 10 trying to learn Fnugg it is an amzing piece and extremely hard to play
This was extremely helpful. However, I'm still not as consistent as I would like in the extreme high range...I'm referring to the g# in Bydlo and the high Bb in Fantastique. Suggestions? I'm very consistent on the mouthpiece but when I go to the horn I miss maybe 40% of the time.
Press less between lips and mouthpiece
@@tubaad I'll give that a shot; thanks :)
Thanks to my tuba teacher for not explaining any of this!
So so good! We can't wait to have you at the Italian Brass Week in august!! Alessia Social Media Editor
👍👏👏👏👏👏
I've realized for a while now that I have a "smiling embouchure," but I can't seem to fix it and still sound good. Do you have any tips?
Play soft and high. If you can do that you’re not smiling. It’s impossible.
300th like 👌
Easy he says, then you look the pic of the video and see him in pain
Øystein you won't be able to understand how important this is for me lol. Also, when are you going to make a new video?
How to hold long tones for tuba. Is there any methods you suggest training for longer notes. Also is there any methods to train for tonguing for tuba or it is the same as other instruments?
When you pucker up your lips, it makes them shorter so i can play high. Should I try to play with my lips puckered up in high range?
Hi, try holding a pencil between your lips, like I do in the video. That should give you a clue on how to shape the lips.
can you teach some good breathing exercise to play loud and longer.
thank you
не понятно(
Можно пожалуйста перевод на русском 😅
😅📯💦🇺🇸🎨🎼
Fantastic video Øystein, great advice!
Thanks John
