Methinks one of the older members of the tubenet "freak jury" is trying to make a statement with this post under another account name.
This reminds of the good old days of the old tubenet when some folks would write a really loaded post from another name and computer. They would then either flame or agree with themselves to prove their point of view (of course from a different name/pc).

Instead of talking to your plants, if you yelled at them would they still grow, but only to be troubled and insecure?

Guys, if you're going to make fake posts, at least do your research. No fifteen-year old kid who can't spell Illinois correctly would ever use the word 'crux.' Ever. As a young person myself, I can attest to the rest of my generation's lack of English composition facility.
Then again, I'm pretty much the perfect writer.

"When I was 15, I was JUST as good as the poster. By the time I reached 21, I was amazed in how much worse I had become in just 6 short years . . . ." (apologies to Sam Clemens)
Let's assume for a moment that our prodigy poster's post is legit and that his playing is too. For him, and for any others who find themselves in this most-enviable position the solution is quite clear.
Go take a lesson from the nearest major symphony tubist (reality check). One of two things will happen. 1) You will have a significant list of homework assignments -- enough to last about 10 years, OR 2) you will find yourself signed up for some major tuba "competition" being "advertised" by the symphony pro as "his/her best student". If "2)", then you won't need to post again, other than to say "I told you so."
Cheers!

In the event that the original post was an honest one, I offer that many of our "freak jury" have been a little harsh. I submit it is possible to be both too good and not good enough at the same time. For instance, if I had a tuba player of Sebastian's stated ability in the high school band where I teach, I would be very happy. Sebastian, however, would probably be bored because the music would be far too easy for him. He could possibly be attempting to tell us that.
Obviously, none of us is ever too good. Even the "gods" of the tuba world are trying to improve. I realize this to be true. I would offer Sebastian similar advise to that given in several of the other posts in this thread. The best strategy for him is to find his place on the track from total beginner to totally perfect. All of us find our place on this track every time we play or practice. Then, if we are wise, we proceed to attempt to move closer to perfect, realizing that no human being ever has achieved this on tuba. This should be his next move. He must be very, very objective in deciding how good he is. It is probably better if he gives himself less credit for his abilities than he deserves. This will keep him hungry to learn more and a little more humble. Most of us could benefit from being more humble.
