Which makes the winning of an orchestral job a real challenge to those who were trained as musicians and not as technicians.
The really sad part of this is that the majority of players we have all looked up to for so many years were musicians first and tuba players second, i.e. Arnold Jacobs, Harvey Phillips, Roger Bobo, Bill Rose, Ron Bishop, Abe Torchinsky and the list can go on. Somehow that part of their message to us and the next generation of tuba players has been lost.
