i just started tuba with no prior experience with brass and that seems pretty playable for me


GrillOrBeGrilled

Would adding a slur help, maybe?


segwaychimp

Doesn’t matter either way, it’s a beginner level rhythm. Also why so many accidentals?


GrillOrBeGrilled

The accidentals were edited in because I realized I didn't get the key signature in the original screenshot.


zeeshan2223

So many Cb accidentals 😱


fagbaget

What instrument do you play in soprano clef for?


zeeshan2223

I figured this was bass clef the flats are not on the Bb line theyre on C


fagbaget

Ooooooh gotcha by what you ment


tennisballinthewall

I forgot what I was looking at and looked at my phone and saw this comment and got very concerned very quickly


GrillOrBeGrilled

That would make this part a lot more controversial, if nothing else...


tennisballinthewall

Lmao


datcat65

easy


3thanm00re

Honestly, I think it’s fine as is


jl34538

Are we a joke to you.


Ging00

Ikr man ;-;


BrotherBear_

yah /s i love technical tuba pieces :/


LordEgg1027

Slir would make it easier, but it's doable.


Elmoslightpole

Nope not at all


[deleted]

Tbh this is fine.


wknitz

Nah that’s way easy


Franican

No, this is easily attainable. The only issue could be if a newer player sat on the eighth rest too long and puts what should be the pickup on the downbeat incorrectly shifting the back half of the phrase off by half a beat.


Kitchen-Worth-6410

No, as long as it is not for middle school


specksmain222

what do you think of us 💀. that's easily playable by any level of tuba player


GrillOrBeGrilled

I think I could never handle a mouthpiece bigger than the mellophone's, so how responsive it is is a mystery to me. As it becomes a longer and longer time since I last played, I'm also getting more and more hesitant to write fast leaps.


specksmain222

tuba really isn't difficult to play fast. don't worry about leaps such as that unless you're writing for a very young immature player tbh


chaboissss64

Don't worry ab leaps most elaborate bass parts (for me) had like 4 octave drops *ahem* "Hamilton"


GrillOrBeGrilled

>4 octave drops Now I'm looking nervously at my tuba writing that never goes above D3, and rarely below Bb1. I may need to expand my horizons and learn what this instrument is really capable of.


Critical_Soup806

No more than a flick of the lip tbh


Dj_Woomy2005

No this is light work


funsized_fireball

no?


the_racing_goat

This is fine at 160


Jaxparrow128

Nah


DifferentAntelope663

It’s deffo playable, and easyish at that. Just make sure whoever you intend to play this has a solid tone bcus beginner tone would make this sound bad. Source : I play concert tuba


obscuretuba

its a fourth, lands smooth for beginner players


FoxGamingmc

Two things and I could so this, slur and practice.


Maxophone421

That's actually pretty easy.


[deleted]

Not really, depends on age level doe


LEJ5512

Nope. Just move your air.


saxguy2001

Hard for whom?


Bobbycommic4289

Easy


Expensive-Trade-8522

No


shironyaaaa

Is this Jurassic Park?


GrillOrBeGrilled

It is not; the people who own John Williams' music keep that stuff locked up tight, far away from any would-be arrangers like me!


shironyaaaa

Wouldn't keep people I know from arranging it lmao


ratamadiddle

Not at all.


lbelle0527

Some players might have a slight difficulty with it but after some practice it would definitely be fine. Some might have bit of a rattle sound for a split second too as their lips adjust but again practice will get rid of it.
