I read somewhere a comment about young tuba players not playing musically. For the most part, I agree. When I was in high school, all of the music I played accompanied something else. The music was very easy, boring, monotonous, and insulting...at least in comparison to everyone else's parts. You can't expect kids to play the tuba musically if this is all they play. My advice to them is to get a good teacher and don't limit yourself to practicing boring high school parts.

I've also noticed that there is one tuba player in every high school band who plays "Ironman" way too much. If you are one of these people, stop it.
