Am I alone?

Just wondering - how many over-fifty-year-old female tuba players are out there? I rarely meet any other "oldies", although it is great to hear all the young women players.

Not alone. 57, but not since the 60's. Since about five years ago. I blatt with the amateurs, but I do blatt in tune and in time.

One of my late starter tuba pupils is in her 60's!
More power to you all.

I'm 49, and when I went to join my New Horizons band playing the euphonium, the conductor said "you play tuba?" and I am now the tuba player. I love it! Don't own one yet, but I am working on that.

I have a 70ish year old female student who attends the Mid Summer Musical Retreat every year.
