Daily Routines for Tuba (BB-flat) by David Vining is suitable for advanced high school through professional tuba players.
A daily routine is an integral part of any tuba player’s practice regimen. Daily Routines for Tuba (BB-flat) provides a systematic way to develop and improve fundamentals, helping to establish consistency in all areas of playing. There are nine routines, each divided into skill categories: long tones, crescendo/diminuendo, flexibility, subito dynamics, resonant low playing, articulation, and high range and low warm-down. Additional resources included in this book are progress charts, an articulation spectrum, and supplemental long tones. Daily Routines for Tuba (BB-flat) ensures that players will be challenged in unique and helpful ways.
« David Vining’s Daily Routines for Tuba is an innovative and very effective way for students of all levels to develop and maintain consistency and mastery of brass technique skills at a high level. I love that the book has routines that cover every facet of tuba playing, yet each routine also covers all the basics regardless of their specific focus. This is a facet of this fine book that makes it wonderfully unique and effective. The student simply needs to just play each routine completely in a given day and improvement is guaranteed. There is so much diversity in this book that the routines never get boring. I have long looked for a routine method that has both diversity and consistency. I finally found that book in Daily Routines for Tuba! » – Scott Watson, Professor of Tuba and Euphonium, University of Kansas
