Keep in mind that all brass instruments are not the same. Because the tuba is lower pitch, most tuba teachers teach to get a good tuba sound it requires you to drop your jaw in the lower register to create a larger resonating cavity. With your jaw dropped you have no choice but to allow your tongue to go above your bottom teeth.
