What notes do you guys think is acceptable to puff your cheeks on?

Also, what notes are impossible to play in tune, on a BBb tuba??

thanks,

no notes are considered "acceptable" but my friend had the same problem just practice while looking at a miror and you can see when you are puffing your cheeks and then work on those notes for a little while.

I'm playing a Yamaha (i think the model number is 321) anyways, it's just a school instrument, and im considering buying a Besson when i graduate, but for the moment im stuck with the yamaha. Thanks guys!

I am in grade 10.

As you can tell by my profile, i play quite alot of instruments, and wish to teach brass in schools!

This is my fourth year playing tuba, and i have a private teacher she is very good, she plays all brass instruments, im working primarly on Carnival of Vience. I'm not that great, but, yea.

Haven't really thought about college, but my carnvial of venice is by J.B Arban and it's in a book called first solos for the tuba player by Herbert Wekselblatt. so yea

Yes. I know, i have to start thinking about college, so, yea, im really looking forward to it though, and im going to have to start work on harder music!

thanks, thats ALOT of help, I really appreciate it.
