Watch out, boys, there is a new sheriff in town!! I have been following this thread with great interest and am so happy to see the amazing results. I offer you my heartiest congratulations, Carol, and wish you the best of luck with your future endeavors. I have a very limited knowledge of your playing and was recently turned onto your "From the Top" performance. Beautiful playing that I am sure that all of us will be hearing more of in the future. I thank the Lord that I already have a gig!!

she studies with fritz kaenzig at U. Mich.

I think she's older than 17 by now... but she's still way young for winning that kind of competition.

Congrats, Carol!!!!

She's 19 and will be a junior at Michigan next year. Don't forget, this is also where Ben Pierce went to grad school. See a pattern?

Prior to Fritz Kaenzig, Carol studied with Tom Riccobono at Interlochen and with Jim Akins(?) in Ohio.

What kind of horn does she use?

She'll now be selecting a new B&S tuba as one of her prizes! She is reportedly looking for a larger CC tuba than her current horn.

Someone else probably knows which horn(s) she used in the competition itself.

Don't know about Nielsen, but Szentpali is a Bobo student, MW performing artist and has a very impressive album called "I Killed My Lips."

Listening to Carol as presented via links in a recent parallel thread her win cannot surprise me. She plays in a way, which gives me a strong suspicion, that she has a quite thorough foundation on either piano or some bowed string instrument.

As for Jesper Nielsen, or Jesper Boile as he is known over here:

As one of the probably very few TubeNet'ters I have been an almost section fellow of his sitting next to him:

In the summer of 1993, when Jesper was 14 years old, I was asked to substitute on bassbone in his then brass band on a tour through Eastern Europe down to the Black Sea coast of Bulgaria.

Some time along the road I sat next to Jesper in the band bus. I was immensely surprised, when he revealed his age. From his playing and his whole attitude I had guessed him to be a few years older (and as a teacher I am quite well trained in nailing down the age of young people very precisely). Jesper played the YEB321 back then.

Well over a year later we met in another band, where I played the 4th horn and Jesper sported his then newly acquired B&S 4+2RV F tuba.

Since then Jesper has mostly been known as a founding member of Art of Brass Copenhagen.

Their website has no working presentation of Jesper in English, but the German page says this:

http://www.artofbrass.dk/german/mitglieder/jesper.htm

Effective in namedropping and in telling of his present job in Spain.

While I cannot give an eye-witness account of the competition, Carol used a newer model YFB-822 S at Roger Bobo's camp in Canada last summer. I could only guess that she is still using that horn.

What is it about her playing that would make you say that? Is it not possible to have tuba as your primary instrument and play musically, although I would agree that she clearly has a strong musical background?

Here's another example of Carol's playing in 2003:

The beginning of the third movement of the Vaughan Williams.

Found an unsent draft for an older thread about one of the ascending stars of the tuba firmament. As I since then anyway have been relegated to the TubeNet equivalent of the Devil's Island (which some consider in effect to be knighted) I could just as well post it. Not to piggyback Carol's great achievements, but as a cadeau to the TubeNetters, who find ignorance being the direct road to stardom.

bloke wrote:Klaus is assuming that the young lady also plays a bowed stringed instrument or piano, because those instruments could have assisted her in already having that "evenness of sound" concept in her head when applying the concept of musical line to playing the tuba.

Joe is not far off, even if his wording was not the one, I had thought of myself.

I tend to divide players and teachers in two groups, which of course are not always very distinct in real life:

a: Musicians playing an instrument.

b: Instrumentalists fighting to emit a musical message.

When it comes to listening to and enjoying music, I certainly prefer the first category. Carol clearly belongs to this category.

She is not accompanied by a pianist. She makes music with her fellow musician, who happens to play the piano.

She doesn't control her extremely good intonation by calculating whatever intonation tendencies her instrument may present. She plays the pitches, which fit the music and her musical environment, which happens to be a piano.

She builds her musicianship on several elements. One of them being an extremely good command of her instrument. She doesn't have to show off, so she doesn't go full tilt. She can lean a bit back, take an overview of the music, and present it with a high level of musical, mental, and bodily surplus.

Is this common with in the brass world? No, and even less within the tuba community.

Are tubists unmusical and silly in general? Certainly not the first and probably not the last.

But a lot of tubist seem to scared by terms like knowledge, being taught, and studying beyond buying the music, buying the recording of the music by the tuba soloist presently most in vogue, and then starting to imitate.

We are repeatedly confronted with questions about problems with shifting to a tuba of another pitch or adding a tuba of another pitch to ones arsenal. Such questions would never surface, if tubists had a proper musical grounding. Piano or whatever keyboard is a perfect tool for teaching such grounding.

If tubists and other brasses approached just about any written music whit the idea that keys and clefs are relative concepts (which they are for just about any instrument but violin, flute, a couple of midsize recorders, oboe, BC tuba, keyboards, harp and some percussions instruments), then there would have been no need for the odd notation used in the British brass band. On the other hand US low brassers wouldn't have problems in reading such odd brass band parts.
