Here are some I can suggest for students, and I'm resolving to get better at some of these myself (we should always be students and continue to learn and challenge ourselves):


- I resolve to use less mouthpiece pressure

Many of you will already be familiar with this site, but I want to remind others about The Brass Forum. It is hosted in England but most topics are of interest to players from any country. It's a very active forum with many members (but it is not exclusively tuba-euphonium-related). Check it out!


Brass Forum UK

Sounding Brass is a great site, with links to dozens of other resources on the web as well as many fine articles on the Sounding Brass site. They offer RSS feeds if you wish to stay up to date that way:

As I look forward to enjoying Christmas with my family and friends, I would like to help others enjoy the holiday season by linking here a few more Christmas MP3 files that you are free to download. These are from some of the finest military bands in the world, including the official bands of The U.S. Air Force, U.S. Navy, and U.S. Coast Guard.
