Or convince the piano player to take it up a whole stepbloke wrote:Okay.. Thank you very much!!! I can't wait to try it out tomorrow!!! But what if i was to play it with a piano accompanist?
I guess I wasn't completely clear. Follow Winston's instructions.
Good luck doing that though.
A realted question, what octave would you use when playing different parts?
Where would you play the bottom line E from trumpet books?
What about the top space E from flute parts?
Would you take the flute parts down an octave more?

On which octave: A BBb tuba is exactly two octaves lower than a Bb trumpet, so that should be your starting point for pitch on a BBb or CC tuba.
Flute music works well two octaves down, though the range suits an Eb or F tuba better than a contrabass tuba.
Since you aren't exactly playing the music on the originally-intended instrument, you can feel free to move things up or down an octave (or any other interval).
The ability to read treble clef opens up a huge amount of fun music for us tubists.
