On June 5th, The Brandon Community Band (which mainly I play tuba for)and the Crocus Plains Highschool Band have a joint concert. Here's what the Community Band is playing:
Cajun Folk Songs: Frank...
With my Community Band, for the 2nd straight year, I had to play tuba for them because we don't have a tuba player. I'm using the highschools Yamaha YBB-321 tuba. Since I don't own a tuba, to...
Last summer at The International Music Camp for the Brass Band, I played tenor horn for the 1st time. I just used everyday Bb treble clef fingerings which worked fine. To get myself hearing what note...
I also agree with Rick. go ahead and learn bass clef.
I started out on trumpet and made the switch to euphonium in Grade 9 using treble clef fingerings. At the end of Grade 9, I learned that I...
Thanks for posting this. I watched the The Cosmopolitan Quartet and the last concert via livestream. Great playing to no real surprise and the video quality was fine. The only real small thing I...
When I'm scheduled to play for my church and when its not winter, I do buzz on my mouthpiece driving to my church, about a 7 minute drive. So far, the police haven't pulled me over for thinking my...
Once a year (usually mid May or early June), I make a 2 hour trip to Winnipeg to the shop which prototypedenNIS works at to get my euph. ultrasonic cleaned. I never had any issues with my euph....
Before I got my Besson, I played on one for a couple of years in my university days. Of what I remember of it, it was quite heavy, it had a buzzing sound that was coming around the bell. It took...
The euphonium and tuba for that matter sounds a lot better with upright bells. They're not meant to be heard directly.
It seems like every year when I play for the Pre Tree portion of my church...
If money is a bit of an issue, an used Besson made no later then 1974 may hold you. There always seems to be some on sale somewhere. I haven't read too many reviews for it but the JP Sterling...
Call me stubborn too. In my experiences, I never sound as a good with any euphs that uses a large shank mouthpiece. vbmodified
Just speculation on my part, but the Mead mouthpieces, especially the Ultra range are relatively new. Some people are likely hanging onto if its not broke, don't fix it philosophy. Or it could be use...
I may be in a minority saying this but I find tuba a much more natural double then trombone. It has nothing to do with trombone using a slide instead of valves minus the valve trombone. The biggest...
I went from the SM4M to the SM4UM.
The Ultra has a much more responsive esp. in the lower register
Its more flexible dynamically speaking, easier to jump registers, tends to blend better when...
Of what a couple of young adults (who go to Dickinson State University) told me at the International Music Camp 2 years ago, Dickinson, ND. No idea if he moved since then or if he was out soloing...
In an university setting, you will see it once and a while including the Holst Suite in Eb. If you don't have a bass clarinet or a bassoon player, you may be given that part if your director knows...
A possible solution is to use the ergobrass for euphonium http://www.ergobrass.com/euph/...eng_euph_etusivu.html
It crossed my mind getting one of those as once and a while, my back hurts while...
Denis Wick Ultra has 3 sizes for the baritone mouthpieces, the 4,5,6. Basing from my experiences with the Ultra4 vs the the regular SM4, the Ultra is a lot better mouthpiece. I would guess the Shilke...
Recently I got The Majesty of Gospel by Jochen Rieger. There's some fairly well known songs including Deep River, Roll Jordan Roll, Glory Hallelujah. The CD track has with a jazz rythmn section with...
If you want go a bit deeper, I prefer the Ultra 4 vs the SM4. I find the sound more flexible and easier to project in the lower register esp. with the Ultra 4 vs the SM4.

You don't have to be a double euphonium / trombone major but you should be able to get trombone comfortably if needed. I do agree with everybody about taking trombone lessons as it will give you more...
Maybe a silly question but it crossed my mind yesterday morning. Do they make toy tubas? I know they make toy trumpets and saxophones.
The reason I'm asking is I had some fun yesterday morning at...
Going on the small end of things, the Bach 12C if that or maybe a mouthpiece that's more suited for the alto trombone. Is there anything in the euphonium reporitoire (band or solo pieces) that stays...
With an university silver Willson 2900, I ended up using tennis wrapping tape, probally a cheaper solution then using a guard. A couple of profs gave me a few looks when I used pink the one time....
