I am not familiar with that book. I like the trumpet version of the Arban book. The Ernest Williams book is good, too. I am sure if it works with trumpets, it should work with tubas. The difference, besides the two octaves betwen the instruments, is that, arguably, our false tones use different fingerings. Also, you can pretty much use any fingering you desire for anything over C above the staff.
