A Day in the Life

Post by Tubassist »

I was curious if any orchestra or military band professionals could talk a bit about what a normal day/week looks like for them in their careers. How many rehearsals a week? How long? How much do you teach? Travel? How many performances? Is it easy to have outside gigs/projects?......etc. I just thought that since I have spent so much time working toward one of these positions, I would like to know what I would be getting into. I love the tuba and classical music, but have always found the most joy in playing multiple kinds of music on many different instruments. I guess I'd like to make to sure I would have time for other musical pursuits while being a professional tubist. I'm sure the information would be helpful for others as well. Thanks!
