This “Progressive Balancing in Staccato-Advanced Progressive Technical Exercises for Bass and Contrabass Tuba” is entirely dedicated to the study of the staccato. This essay is indeed composed by a first part in a major tonality and a second part in a minor tonality, which are in turn divided into a regular and reverse mode. This, first of all, gives the brass instrument players (may they be professionals or students), the possibility to increase their speed, their precision in the technique and in the staccato, developing, by a gradual balancing of the embouchure, the attacks, the staccato, the octaves, the register, the control, the embouchure, the accuracy and the speed in the technique. I suggest to start at a comfortable metronome speed (75-80), to then gradually increase till the maximum reachable speed, in order to accelerate these advanced technical exercises. I abstain on purpose from proposing instructions as regards the dynamics of performance, because in this case they do not play a significant role, in contrast to what usually occurs in music and scores. I suggest, however, to face the exercises of this essay with some dynamics that can go from “mf” (mezzoforte) up to “f” (forte), or from “mp” (mezzo piano) up to a considerable“mf” (mezzo forte). I leave the player completely free to choose the type of staccato. I suggest howeverto change it day by day, for example by employing a simple staccato the first day, a double staccato the day after, and a triple one the third day, going back to a simple staccato and so on. Besides, one may choose to play, every other day, major and minor tonalities, or one day only theregular mode and the next day the reverse one, all at the complete discretion of the player. Finally, as regards Books 2, 3, and 4, they will clearly have to be performed by employing the double and triple staccatos, which are the designated choices for them. Angelo Piazzini

All my teaching methods are intended as ready-to-use manuals. I should therefore specify that it isn’t necessary to follow the order of the exercises indicated, rather you can choose to start from one exercise instead of another and/or draw up a “customized” daily sequence, playing those that are most useful and work best for you, or pick exercises depending on your activities, be they lessons, auditions, competitions or concerts. It is advisable to start from a comfortable speed - I would say 70 - 75 on the metronome - and then increase it a little at a time, speeding up gradually. As for the dynamics, it is advisable not to overdo it. Experience dealing with these exercises suggests it’s preferable to tackle them working with a range from mp (mezzo piano) until you reach a maximum of f (forte), or from p (piano) to mf (mezzo forte) . This method, like my others, provides students with exercises to consolidate a winning "daily routine" that’s personalized for every instrumentalist, developing those individual aspects that we need every day in performance practice: attacks, legato, octaves, register, control and embouchure. These exercises constitute a useful daily practice routine, aimed at training, developing and maintaining a good and correct embouchure. Angelo Piazzini

This “Progressive Balancing” is divided in two parts: the first one is in a major tonality while the second one is in a minor tonality; each one of them,in turn, is splitin regular and reverse flexibility.This arrangement allows to streng then a successful and useful “dailyroutine and procedure”aimed at the development and maintenance of a good embouchure. The objectives that we daily pursue to face a concert,a lesson or an audition are more or less the same; this method takes these different single aspects, developing them by the gradual balancing of a good embouchure, that is: the attacks, the legato, the octaves, the register,the control and the embouchure. It is recommended to start at a comfortable metronome speed(65-70),and gradually increase the pace,little by little, so as to speed up the entire “progressive flexibility”. Dynamics have been omitted on purpose. In such an essay on flexibility, and therefore in flexibility it self, dynamics do not play such an important role as they usually do in music and scores. More over,some freedom has been intentionally left to the performer who is about to play the piece. It is advisable not to exceed with dynamics, that is avoid performing too loudly or too softly. Experience suggests to preferably perform by using dynamics that go from mezzopiano up to forte or from piano up to mezzoforte. Angelo Piazzini

My new book, entitled Complete Warm Up and Daily Routine for Tuba, is designed to provide students, amateurs, and professional tuba players with a useful guide to warming up and daily exercises. This new series of exercises enables tuba players to experience rapid, step-by-step progression in embouchure and, as a result, in their technical precision and speed. In particular, this enables: • step-by-step development and progression in embouchure • improvement and increased confidence in attacks • improvement and increased confidence in all registers • improvement and increased confidence in control in legato • increased confidence in moving from one register to another and in leaps • increased technical precision and speed My advice is to tackle these exercises starting at a comfortable pace (75 – 80 on the metronome) and then to gradually pick up speed in order to reach the maximum attainable pace. Another idea might be to practice in major and minor keys on alternate days, or to play in the ordinary way on one day and the opposite the next. Everything is at the sole discretion of the player. As always, I leave full freedom of execution up to tuba players who want to try their hands at this new series of daily exercises for rapid, step-by-step progression as part of their training as musicians.
