(To Buz) ‘The study ofthe mouthpice is a practice recognized by the world's most authoritative exponents of ‘brass playing; the benefits that can be obtained witha proper and systematic implementation are , ‘We can safely say that all noticeable problems on 2 teical level, stating from the production of sound, fo legato and staccato, can be solved more effectively with the study of che mouthpiece before even dealing with the instrument. This is bocause we directly work at the source of the sound: the vibration. Tis: Usually you use different mouthpieces forthe bass tuba and the contrabass tuba (as for other instruments like the trumpet: they change the depth, the volume of the cup, the throat and the backbore, however the biagest difference between different mouthpieces is surely given by the inner rim diameter, since the vibrating surface of our lps wil be diferent compared to inside the mouthpiece itl, so i 8 recommended (as with the instrument) to devote time to the study of | different mouthpicces that we use regularly ‘To stimulate the vibration more efficiently, you will beable to perform studies in different ways: 1 only with the mouthpiece, 2 altaching a mubher ube about 10 centimetres (or more) in length to the trost of the mouthpiece, 3 using a spirometer to see ifthe vibration is supported by an adequate amount of ait Points 2 and 3 are the ones that I mainly recommend particulary when we perform a study in all q keys. In this book you will find many exereises that requir the use of glssando, This s because with this technique you ean play an interval without changing the position of support ofthe mouthpiece on the lips: itis the muscles themselves rather than the movement of the jaw that will help us, particulary inthe lower register, a5, reacting to this stimulus dey will move flexibly to reach the ‘osied pitch, ‘The glissando will becom areal workout for our lip, snd that wil allow us to develop our sound, as well er making ws understand the correct sting for every single note (opening of the mouth, jaw position, angle ofthe mouthpiece) exactly and involuntarily Initially, the main purpose of these exercises isto work on those frequencies where the sound stops, 0 that our lips are responsive producing a viteation a any pitch, especially when we'll play an ‘nterval (small or large), with study these poins will be reduced even more, and we wil shift our latiention tothe homogeneity of our glssando, This will lead us to have a better command of our lips and the vibration coming fom them. Remember while playing, thatthe most important thing isnot the first or the last note ofan interval but what itis inthe middle, ty to pay much attention to play the better glissando you can. ij Keep in mind also that this sty wall bring enormous beneits inthe quality of your legat playing, asthe elissando can fo all intents and purposes be considered a legato in slow motion, Keep strictly to the rhythm wien you play with the accompaniment on the CD: atthe start of each {zack you will hear a metronome that Keeps tack of the tempo and piano sound tht wll give you the pith ofthe frst note to play Inhale seal for two metronome clicks, trying to store as much ai as possible, play the phase and thea breathe in the same way again, T usually tie to lave the 2 14 required for breathing between one musical phrase and anther; if yeu find a longer break, such i fas4/4, relax forthe fist 2/4 and inhale steadily for the remaining tw. Ifyou can not play all the tones ofan excrete, especially the lower and higher pitched ones, do not ‘worry. Getto where you can and ey to gota bit further each day: do not expect to be able to do everything staight away orto be able to make giant steps: be consistent and rigorous in your study ‘and lear to appreciate every small achievement Always remember that ou fist objective must be the quality of what we do, Clearly, as I said, to get results we nced consistency, only then ean we see the benefits of this Practice, these exercises should therefore be incorporated into our daly study plan, considering thems an integral part of our technique routine, ‘You can start playing with the mouthpiece for about ten minutes (one ofthe longer exercises, of two or three or more ofthe shorter) before your practice routine. ‘Once you ar able to master all the etudes ofthis book you can continue adding more Keys o each ‘exercise both in the upper and lower register, J suggest you also use dis method with the instrument, inthis ease, the exercises involving the use ‘of gissando will be performed withthe legato; you will have a fll technical stdy plan, sith which {you can also exerese by playing withthe basie accompaniment which will give you a refxence for ‘the rhythm and intonation. Tish you much success.
