Tubby the Tuba
My band director has asked if I could play Tubby the Tuba. What is the difficulty and range of the part? I have heard Chester Schmitz play it and it sounds effortless but I am not Chester Schmitz (I would call my self advanced but no college training). I think I can play it but would like others opinions and maybe a pdf of the more difficult areas since we do not have the piece yet.

Re: Tubby the Tuba
Thank you. I will definitely consider it. My range is not quite that high so bringing it down an octave would be a good choice. Sounds like fun though.
