Flow Studies for Tuba

Flow Studies for Tuba (Kelly Thomas, Professor of Tuba and Euphonium at the University of Arizona says: “David Vining’s Flow Studies for Tuba is a concise and well thought out collection of flow studies. It provides interesting alternatives and fresh challenges in basic skill development and maintenance in the important areas of tone production, embouchure stability and agility in all registers. I appreciate the explanation of a flow study and the questions the performer should be considering. The break up of the studies into Slow Flow Studies, Medium Flow Studies, and Fast Flow Studies is also very unique. The suggested etude rotation is also quite practical. Overall, I highly recommend this collection. These studies will become a staple in my teaching studio.” This book is a companion book to The Breathing Book Tuba Edition. Flow Studies are divided into slow, medium and fast phrasing studies and are designed to encourage the generous movement of air through each phrase. Flow Studies are appropriate for tuba players in early high school and above.)
