How to play a good tuba?

[bassclef]

firstly. use alot of air. i know the tuba requires a rather demanding amount of air to produce a good tone. thus use more air. u can start off by keep practicing your method books. that will be quite effective.

secondly. improving your range is a good idea. this allows u to double on the bass trombone (yes on the tuba). although this is not commonly done but some piece allows u to do so (eg singapore rhapsody 1st movement, on certain parts). playing double bass parts are also possible.

thirdly. practice.

on the other hand, search the net for tips and tricks on playing. applies for all instruments. from what i know, there are extensive discussions for saxophone and trumpet playing in the form of forums.
