For me, the best method book is Roger Bobo's Mastering the Tuba (either edition). It is truly a "fundamentals" book in that his focus is on establishing breath/air/wind control while doing exercises. It is written in treble clef so it will be an easy transition keeping cornet fingering - actually since so many of the exercises follow a "open", "2nd valve", "1st valve", "1 and 2", etc pattern the fingering issue is pretty insignificant.
