Tuba Music for Deaf Audiences

Post by Steve Marcus »

An article that appeared a few years ago featured a composition by former St. Louis Symphony bass clarinetist James Meyer entitled, "Tuffy, the Silly Tuba."

The headline on the article was, "Tuba's low notes are music to ears of deaf children."

How can the the music be viewed? Where is there a video or audio recording of Michael Sanders or anyone else performing this piece?

Being an interpreter for the deaf - it makes perfect sense.
Vibrations of low brass, are easier to feel.
Any tuba piece, would delight a deaf person (by feeling the vibration) - compared to a trumpet vibration.

Cool article.
