I played French horn, baritone, piano, and learned the tuba in 4 months in my 8th grade year in school. Played a solo and trio with 2 seniors and got a gold and went into state honors band in 8th grade. My life was just going dandy my 8th grade year, and then again state in 9th and 10rh grade; all off to state honors band and golds.
Then New Years hit me my junior year and my lung got punctured by a fractured rib; lung collapsed. I came back to after a coma and rehab but it was the first silver I've ever gotten playing the tuba in my senior year.
So really, after a lung was once collapsed and gets back going again, will there always be the matter of taking too many breaths? Or if I bought a tuba, could that get better or is it a forever, long lost dream to have a better breath as I play the tuba?
I'm buying a house and can finally get a tuba to play as I want to but if it's for something that will always be noticed, that may get to me even more. Breathing exercises are grand but I'm sure playing an instrument is better. It happened a little over a century ago, but I'm sure you can always work on your breathing.
I'm almost 30 years old, I'd rather grow my breath on my own now. Been done with therapy.for years now but I still want to work on my breath and even my brain. I'm not looking for medical answers, just a slight opinion I guess if you would notice a person taking many breaths as they play and if it would be great to work on. Realistic to work on I guess and if it mattered.
