I made a mistake earlier this year.
I teach all brass, at beginner level (I try to push the advanced players onto specialist teachers) and am always at a problem when teaching tuba - I just can't get my chops to work properly on them, meaning I tend not to demonstrate anything, on tuba, for my tuba students. My mistake was to lend one of my young tuba stars a couple of CDs by Pat and Sam - they came back the next week wanting to play
Czardas and all the jazz solos from
Travellin' Light.
The problem - they only started playing tuba last September
The scary part - he's developing at the speed which means he might just do it
Keep your eyes out for the future of tuba playing in the UK - there is a 10 year old monster on the loose
