Inspired by the mundane ritual of practicing standard orchestral excerpt lists, these 15 etudes present a new twist for the auditioning tuba player. The etudes will promote orchestral audition success by allowing the performer to practice techniques (articulations, rhythm, breath support, etc.) needed for a successful audition without having to practice the actual excerpts. Of course to win that audition, one must practice the actual excerpts as well. Good luck!
