Low Brass, High Standards
George Palton and Jeff Barbee
The back row can easily be forgotten, until an ensemble is unable to program a composition due to a deficiency in their tuba and euphonium sections. The contributions these instruments provide, including depth of tone, are invaluable and critical throughout wind band and orchestral literature. However, these instrumentalists often struggle and trail their peers due to the extra challenges associated with tone production, the physical size of the instruments, and access to quality materials and equipment. Through research driven pedagogy, our goal is to improve tuba and euphonium instruction at all levels.

Survey Update: Thank you to everyone who participated in our national survey! We are looking forward to presenting its findings in numerous venues and publications, including the Indiana Music Education Association 2019 Professional Development Conference, in the near future.
