If it were MY choice, I would play F tuba exclusively, with rare exceptions. I do own a DD tuba and a G tuba is in the works. Sonically, I like the DD tuba in sharp keys. I use it on “Carmina Burana” and “Nutcracker.” I have earmarked the G tuba for works such as “Midsummers’ Night Dream” and “Bydlo.”</p> </article> <article> <h1>Comment on tuba keys: pros & cons by Tweets that mention tuba keys: pros & cons — KnoX Brass WorX Co -- Topsy.com</h1> <p>Tweets that mention tuba keys: pros & cons — KnoX Brass WorX Co -- Topsy.com — Thu, 08 Jul 2010 19:26:05 +0000</p> <p>[...] This post was mentioned on Twitter by Sean Greene, Sean Greene.

That audible “pop” your mouthpiece makes when you slap the palm of your hand on the rim/cup produces an identifiable pitch that can be used as a reference. For example, a Conn-Helleberg(standard) produces an “Ab”. The Conn 2 and Helleberg 7B produces an “A”. The Bach 18 (and most “18″ copies) “pops” a “G”. These pitches are not always “exact”, but they form a reference point that relieves one from carrying around a tuning fork or relying entirely on the keyboard to give one some direction as to what pitch they are playing. Pop your OWN mouthpiece and determine what pitch IT’s producing, and practice away! </p> <p>Unaided by the identifiable idea of your pitch, you will PROBABLY find you are actually playing higher than you think you are. There CAN be an “upside” to this – You’ll probably find the production of your higher register notes much easier after such a “session” of “guessing where you’re at” register-wise. Keep the mouthpiece playing fun, and focus on tunes and music rather than drill forms. There will always be plenty of room for that when the mouthpiece finally gets placed in the horn.</p> </article> <article> <h1>Comment on The Art of Rehearsal by John Marchiando</h1> <p>John Marchiando — Wed, 16 Jun 2010 14:47:22 +0000</p> <p>Outstanding post, Sean!</p> </article> <article> <h1>Comment on The Art of Rehearsal by Sean</h1> <p>Sean — Thu, 10 Jun 2010 20:05:06 +0000</p> <p>Thanks, Andrew! I’m glad you enjoyed it- You’re right on about the video recording. It speaks for itself.</p> </article> <article> <h1>Comment on The Art of Rehearsal by Andrew Hitz</h1> <p>Andrew Hitz — Thu, 10 Jun 2010 14:21:45 +0000</p> <p>Great post!</p> <p>I love the premise of the piece. There definitely are many reasons why chamber groups break up and rehearsal habits are near the top of the list. </p> <p>I too would list diplomacy first on this list. It is by far, in my opinion, the number one thing that can derail a brass quintet. </p> <p>And I also believe that Habit #3, recording all of your rehearsals, can tie into diplomacy quite nicely. If someone doesn’t hear what you are, you can always fall back on my favorite line from your post: the tape never lies! In Boston Brass, we record every master class and every concert and I upload them to sendspace.com and email the link to everyone. Nothing better than hearing things for yourself.</p> <p>Thanks for a great post!</p> <p>Andrew Hitz</p> </article> <article> <h1>Comment on The Art of Rehearsal by Tweets that mention The Art of Rehearsal — KnoX Brass WorX Co -- Topsy.com</h1> <p>Tweets that mention The Art of Rehearsal — KnoX Brass WorX Co -- Topsy.com — Thu, 10 Jun 2010 13:22:47 +0000</p> <p>[...] This post was mentioned on Twitter by Robert A.
