I couldn't agree more. I advise all my students to switch to CC as soon as possible if they have plans to continue as a performer. I even advised the performing arts high school I teach at to buy CC tubas to replace the aging BBb tubas we had. I made the switch myself to CC in my freshman year of college and I wish I had made the switch prior to getting to college. I nearly wasted my first year of college making the switch which didn't come easily for me. If you make the switch in high school, you have that much more time to focus on what you're learning in lessons rather than worrying about switching the fingerings. I know that when students come to me knowing not only the basics of playing but also having a good understanding of their own instrument, the progress made is always faster and more complete. It's the old Boy Scout motto: Be Prepared!
