Sumner Erickson recorded a CD with all of the etudes from the 24 Melodious Etudes For Tuba by S. Vasiliev book. Windsong sells it: http://www.windsongpress.com/CD/erickson/erickson.htm although, I don't think they sell the book. You can find the almost anywhere.

You might try the book "Musical Souvenirs" by Jos van den Dungen. It has twelve tunes with accompaniment. . . I did three of them as a suite on my last recital. . . It's available at patricksheridan.com and published by de Haske

I am not certain that this has been discussed before but I will recommend the use of "Smart Music" (www.smartmusic.com) for helping with your training. The program has (for a subscription cost) a great deal of titles to play along with (for all the brass and woodwinds) as well as etudes (Bordogni and others). There are many valuable aspects of this program including the possibilty of interfacing with the FINALE music program so you can add even more titles to your practice routine that are not available through Smart Music. (by inputing them yourself or scanning them)
You can play along, record, send these files via the internet, practice scales, chek your intonation..all in one program. Worth a look at least.

All the best,
