Скачать или смотреть Arnold Jacobs Development of Low Register and Resonance - Tuba [in F#]

From Arnold Jacobs' Special Studies for the Tuba:
“This Etude should be considered as a media for the development of resonant low range. It should be practiced in a very slow 3 or moderate 6 to the bar. The low Eb can be played as a privileged note by using the open position (no valves). This works on most BBb tubas. If the player is unable to produce the Eb then I suggest changing all Eb's to F. Although this changes the Etude somewhat, it is worth it, as there is benefit to be found in the practice of such low notes.

I prefer to think of high and low notes as fast and slow vibrations. It will be found that the space between the teeth widens for the low notes.
However, I would not depend on the maneuver to produce the low notes in itself, as the embouchure transition does not necessarily follow this movement. Instead, the jaw and tongue movements usually come by themselves merely by playing a great deal of music in the lower range. I always believe it best to be somewhat unconscious of our physical maneuvers and highly conscious of our musical goals.

Many players will have considerable difficulty playing the low range at first but usually the embouchure learns to cope with the low vibratory rate on a trial and error basis. There is a general principle of embouchure involved in producing range on the tuba. In descending into the lower range of the tuba, we play with somewhat thicker surfaces as they will vibrate more slowly and still give a firm sound. Of course the opposite is true in the extreme upper range. Rotate the lips inward upon themselves rather than assuming a broad smiling position. The tighter lip surfaces will vibrate fast. We must be sure that the lips do not become stiff or it will be difficult to obtain proper response.”
