North Carolina Middle School All-District/State Tuba Solo - Owen Hans

I've taught a few clinics this year in preparation for these auditions so I decided to upload this recording to provide younger players with a guide on how a professional tubist may approach it. This is by no means a perfect recording or take, but hopefully it can serve as a strong guide.
Email me at [e-mail] with any questions or to set up tuba lessons remotely or in Greenville, NC!

Been playing tuba since 2015 when I was in middle school. You’re gonna go far dude, hell, you’ll be better than I am right now in like a year LOL. Keep up the good work big man

[@jetsettech8804]

If he's gonna be better than you in a year, then you must really suck.

[@papasquat5549]

Nice sound, well delivered.

[@Overlycomplicatedswede]

Bro I’m a bass trombonist (senior in high school) and you have an incredibly beautiful sound. I wish more tuba players could play this beautiful

[@Foolzg]

Very very nice tone!

[@Nt3Hr]

This is the sound I aspire for

[@aidensypolt]

Is there a transposition for Cimbasso in F?

[@harleyzeth]

Cimbasso doesn't transpose. You have to learn new fingerings.

[@slimedrext2159]

What’s the name of this piece

[@owenhans]

I don't believe it has a name, but you can find it on the NC Bandmasters website if you are trying to find the sheet music!

[@slimedrext2159]

@@owenhans ok thanks

[@d4-rj]

is that an F tuba?

[@papasquat5549]

CC tuba.

[@owenhans]

This is an Eastman EBC836s CC tuba!

[@big_jeffey1904]

I have a suggestion as a tuba player, try to keep your cheeks tight and dont blow them up.

[@thomasscott-jo1di]

He's legit a professional tubist

[@tubonically]

He sounds worse because of his recording equipment, you can hear he has very bright dark tone but that tone is ruined by whatever he recorded on, I have had to deal with the exact same thing so Its easy to tell why he sounds very tight even though hes a professional.
