I would recommend instituting a warmup that is feasible for you to do most everyday. Maybe around 10 to 15 mins.long consisting of long tones, flexibility, single tonguing and articulation exercises. Nothing elaborate, just basic stuff using scales for the tonguing execises. These 15 mins. will do you a lot of good in rebuilding (or building) your chops. As you progress, add some things you need to work on into your warmup. But the key is to keep it reasonable so that you can do it most everyday. (No "hour long" warmups!)

As far as books...
43 Bel Canto Studies - Bordogni
70 Studies for BBb Tuba, Vol. 1 - Blazavich (spelling, sorry)
Arban/Prescott Studies Book

Practical and not too difficult.

I would also highly recommend getting into a community band or the such to keep you motivated. If you need help in locating one, please email me.

Good luck in all you do.

Mark
