HL Clarke in bass clef?
My teacher was asking if such a thing exists and if I'd be able to find it. Any ideas?

It probably does, and you likely can, given the existence of:prototypedenNIS wrote:My teacher was asking if such a thing exists and if I'd be able to find it. Any ideas?

There is a value in reading from the treble clef book. If you utilize this book as the Roger Bobo Master Tuba book suggests, by reading in treble clef, and using "C" fingerings, you're able to use all the excercises on all instruments without having to transpose. This way you don't have to play something on F tuba with all 4 or 5 valves that would only have 1st and 2nd down on a BBb tuba.
Worth a shot. I've started reading treble clef like this and can now play from treble or bass clef without any hesitation or even thinking about it really.

There is a Claude Gordon velocity studies book printed in BC for trombone. It relies heavily on Clarke exercises. I will check it against my TC verion of the Clarke book next time I'm in my office if someone doesn't beat me too it.
