Stephanie, I got 3 Questions for you. 1. Why did you start playing Tuba? 2. What Grade were you in when you started playing Tuba? 3. When you were in the School Band, did you play Sousaphone as well as your cassual Tuba for the Marching Band?

For any students reading this: Buzzing on the mouthpiece should mimic playing on the tuba therefore the mouthpiece shouldn’t be unstable and moving around. The paper clip creates instability and it invariably damages not just the mouthpiece but also the leadpipe. Using the berp™ or using the pipe from the breath builder on the end of the mouthpiece is so much better. The paper clip adds no benefit, it only creates instability and thus having to do weird things with face, head and neck muscles to keep the mouthpiece in place. Unwanted tension. If you don’t have a berp or a pipe, just take out your main tuning slide and buzz that way, or alternatively, take out the 1st valve on a piston tuba and buzz that way. Or just buzz on the mouthpiece. Never paper clip and never with your finger over the end of the mouthpiece.
