The following five essays, The Corporal Quartet, Breathing, Embouchure is a verb, Articulation and Fingering are really one five part article and, as in the corporal quartet, they are most efficient when working together. I would be very pleased if this set of pedagogical essays is useful to any readers.

 What was it that Luciano Pavarotti and Mistislav Rostoprovich had in common? What is the special quality that helps Christian Lindberg and Øystein Baadsvik be world-class soloists and has helped Benjamin Pierce to become an amazing frequent winner of competitions? Of course, the primary common denominator is that all these players are superb musicians and artists. But further, they all possess the ability to produce a resonant, vibrant, high energy, warm and clear pianissimo. They are able to perform with drama and intensity at a musical whisper.

 "TIBALT OYYLANT: 30s, joyous, bubbly, plays Carnival of Venice on tuba for one of his college tuba students. This is an almost impossible piece to play on the trumpet; on tuba, it's almost stupid. But Tibalt is one of the world's best tuba players and he delights in the technical difficulty. The student has a huge smile on his face watching Tibalt play. Tibalt takes a deep breath, but suddenly coughs violently, blood squirting out of the corners of his mouth. As he attempts to hold it in, the blood forcefully goes into the tuba and sprays out the bell end. And Tibalt tumbles awkwardly onto the tuba...dead." |

 David Zerkel’s first CD, Something Old, Something New was the winner of the Roger Bobo Award for solo tuba recording in 2006. His new album, Tuba Helper, continues the same high standard he set 2 years ago. Tuba Helper is another fine display of Zerkel’s magnificent tone and effortless playing and also serves as a platinum example of several pieces of repertoire that have served tuba students for years. |

 Greetings from Jeju, Korea. The competition is over and more than just the very high level of performance in final rounds for both euphonium and tuba needs to be addressed!
Benjamin Pierce, a true virtuoso on both euphonium and tuba was in the finals on both instruments. He won in the tuba division and in euphonium it was very close between Mr. Pierce, an American, and first place winner, Frenchman, Bastien Baumet from France.
