Daily Routines for the Student Tuba Player provides students with an organized approach to developing and maintaining fundamental tuba skills. This book contains eight routines, each dedicated to a different topic: Beginning Routine, Air, Lip Bends, Intermediate Routne, Ear Training, Low Range, Duet and Advanced Routine. Each routine is further divided into specific skill categories: Long Tones, Crescendo/Diminuendo, Lip Slurs, Subito Dynamic Changes, Low and Resonant playing, Tonguing (first on one note and then moving around) and High and Low playing. By playing one routine per day, tuba players insure that they are developing all of their fundamental skills equally. In addition, because of its organization, this book insures that students will address fundamental weaknesses needing attention.
