Drill of The Week #4 is finally up.

Post by Chris Olka »

He guys and gals, for those of you who've asked continually over the last 2 months, I've finally gotten my act together and got another "Drill of The Week" video up on YouTube. Thanks for all the encouragement and patience while I worked out the medical and technical problems to try some more. Hope it helps somebody.

I absolutely love watching the videos you post. All of them are extremely helpful. I've started using your "Peanut Butter Long Tones" as part of my warm-up routine, and it really helps. Thanks again, and I'm looking forward to seeing more videos in the future!

Glad to see you're at it again. It'd probably be just fine if you changed the "Drill of the Week" to the "Drill of the Whenever I'm Not Too Busy Doing Other Stuff".

I enjoy these quite a bit - but I'll take them as they come - No pressure :)

This is awesome! I have a long way to go, but it's good to see into my future. I am already blasting those "In and Out, Out and In" exercises, and although they ain't pretty, they are like weightlifting. I need to beef up my double forte attacks when they are called for. Usually, they come out a hair later than I intended. Out of curiosity, could you tell me what is that rather large tuba you are playing? Thank you.

Anyone who plays tuba that is on this site needs to subscribe to Chris' YouTube channel. I think even the Euph guys too!
