Brass tip 29
Allow yourself to have success. Celebrate the small steps and give you a well-deserved pat on the shoulder when you can do something today that you couldn’t do yesterday, or just five minutes ago. Yes!

Brass tip 26
A large tuba requires less air than a small one - to keep a low note at 90 decibels. A tuba is basically a lip vibration amplifier, and a large tuba amplifies low notes better than a small one.

Brass tip 25
To avoid hesitation on the first note, it is a good idea to breathe in the tempo of the music. Always keep the air in motion, like waves moving up and down on a beach.

Brass tip 24
As musicians, how can we expect the audience to like the music if we don’t? So you either learn to like everything you play and give the audience your best - or don’t play. Indifference has no place in music.

Brass tips 22
There is a fine line between a boring performance on one side, and a parodic one on the other. The musical magic happens right on that edge. We mostly end up on the boring side though :)

Brass tip 21
When playing multiphonics, use a slightly nasal singing voice. That makes it easier to balance the voice against the instrument tone. It also becomes easier to intonate. academy.baadsvik.com
Brass tip 20
Need a full, relaxed fortissimo? Take a good breath and sigh the air out. Like throwing a rock up in the air and letting it fall down. Gravity is really powerful! academy.baadsvik.com
Brass tip 19
Need a softer pianissimo? Practice on a candle light. Blow gently on the flame without taking it out. Then use the same slow, but steady air when you play a pianissimo. academy.baadsvik.com
Brass tip 18
Need clearer articulation? Blow the phrase on a piece of paper. If you can hear the paper making crackling sounds, it’s gonna sound a lot clearer when you go back to your instrument. academy.baadsvik.com
