Most helpful etude book?

No one mentioned Bordogni? Bordogni and Kopprasch together are pretty useful. Both of course with different articulations and fingerings. I could live with only those two...

I agree the Snedecor "Low Etudes" book is one every tuba player should work on. I also like to work on the "12 Special Studies" by Otto Maenz. It was out of print for a while but I think it's back on the shelves now. I hope the same can happen for the Blazhevich... I'm glad I got my copy last year!

I still can't make it through Blume #10, sheesh!

A few that quickly come to mind for CC or BBb:

Bach Cello Suites (but down 2 octaves)

70 Etudes for Tuba by Vladislav Blazevich (this one is in 2 vols, from R King if Knaub edition is no longer available)

Melodious Etudes (trombone) (vols I, II, & III) - Rochut (down 1 and 2 8ves)

Daily Drills and Technical Studies for Trumpet -- Max Schlossberg

Arban Method (Trumpet version)

60 Selected Studies -- Kopprasch

Melodious Etudes -- Vasiliev

12 Studien -- Otto Maenz

335 Selectd Melodious Progressive and Technical Studies for French Horn (vol I & II) -- Max Pottag/Albert Andraud

There -- a short list off the top of my head.

i gotta put in a good word from trumpet books, I love the vizzutti books, charlier, and the clarke studies, all great resources.

However, If i had to pick ONE book, I would pick rochut everytime. do it in different octaves for range, phrasing, better legato, do them low and loud for better air, take the slurs out and make it a technical study, you can do everything with that book!

(of course I also have blazevich, kopprasch, snedecor, vasliev, snedecor, tyrell, and arbans, I also have like 5 other books I should give away because I never use them)

Here's another vote for Blazhevich.

I never used the Donald Knaub edition.

Both volumes of the King publication are available for $9.15 each, plus shipping, from:

oh I want to put one more good word in, the Amsden duets for trumpet/trombone are a blast, and they're great because I can use them like an etude book in lessons with students.
