This again, huh?

Wish it worked. I could sleep my way to a golden tone. Then, take out a loan for two or three premium tubas and I'd be on my way to a great professional career...

Too bad... ;)

Actually, I do wonder if it has potential. Or if it is better to just listen to tuba solos all night.

I have heard abouyt this learning system in the context of whatever other subject, but not instrumental playing. I don’t look for such voodoo, but it came to me as the suggestion for a tuba auction I didn’t win (which wasn’t too odd, as I didn’t bid). I looked at it and even listened to some of the audio samples. Some of what they said about difference notes maybe isn’t all rubbish. Only it has no relevance to any learning process.

This type of tuba teaching only works properly if the audience is asleep, as well. :wink:
Instead of talking to your plants, if you yelled at them would they still grow, but only to be troubled and insecure?

Is this much different then the "Think Method" by Professor Howard Hill that was documented in this documentary several years ago?

The tuba cd is is under $12, that's a bargain considering the New Age CD is over a hundred.

On Track 4, you will not hear anything at all because this track contains ultrasonic silent subliminal programming.
I can sell at CD with nothing audible on it either, for half the price! (I have a pile pre-recorded - they have my professional logo "CD-R" already imprinted on them.)

On a serious note, I think this CD is a must for all TubeNetters who need to increase their post count:
