I think I am slightly confused now.
Please forgive my ignorance, I enjoy learning and the only way I will know what in the world I am doing is to ask.
First off, The E-Flat Tuba I received actually has a Bass Trombone Mouthpiece, should I use it or my BBb mouthpiece?
After I get the mouthpiece dilema figured out, I am really going to get basic here.
Please ask for clarity if my question doesn't make sense.
If I have a BBb tuba part (normal Tuba part) in front of me and I have the E-flat in my lap. I see a C below the staff...1&3 on BBb, I would play 1&2 on the E-Flat? Same note or would I need to transpose? Can I even play normal bass clef Tuba parts with the E-Flat? Or would I need to transpose all the Tuba parts?
Sorry for all the questions, this is what happens when someone tries to teach themselves a new instrument. Thank You for all your help and this wonderful site.
