ILMEA Cycle 3 Tuba Etude 2 - Blazhevich 38

A quick demo of ILMEA Cycle 3 Etude 2 for Tuba (#38 from 70 Studies for BBb Tuba by Blazhevich, m.28-fine). I think there are lots of opportunities to push and pull the tempo expressively in this one, and you should definitely add dynamics to shape the contour of each phrase even though Blazhevich (or Robert King) didn't add much information to the part. Sorry for the occasional frack, I'm not a tubist primarily and I'm still trying to figure out the quirks of this school-owned Meinl.

Filmed in the low brass room at Hinsdale South High School in Darien, IL; one of several Chicagoland locations where I’m available for lessons.

Have a piece you want to hear a demo of? Let me know in the comments.
