OK, they're not all actually on the stand at the same time, but I keep them on a small table next to my chair.
1) Pares scales for BBb Bass, I warm up with a different key each time
2) Embouchure Builder for BBb Bass, why do I need a book for lip slurs? Actually this one seems to have helped.
3) Blazhevich 70 Studies for BB flat TUBA, Volume I - I tend to open at random and work on whatever page I get.
4) My community band tuba folder. I work on whatever parts need a little help.
5) William Bell Complete Tuba Method, Carnival of Venice anyone? Also more stuff than I could ever possibly master.
6) The complete Arban Trumpet/Cornet method. To work on my treble clef reading. I often use this for practicing my baritone (yes a real baritone) just in case some brass band is in need of a mediocre player.
7) A large pile of other methods and solos acquired over the years that I go though occasionally and pick something to play with.
With all this I still never get more than about an hour at a time of parctice.
