Multiple Choice

What note do you play when I say "Do" and how do you play it?

• B-flat; open

• C; 1 and 3

• D; 1 and 2

• B-flat; 1 and 3

The correct answer is B-flat!

When I say "Do" in class, we play B-flat. We can play B-flat on the tuba by playing it "open." This means that we don't press down any valves. We also need to make sure we use a loose embouchure to play the note super low.

Multiple Choice

What note do you play when I say "Re" and how do you play it?

• B-flat; open

• C; 1 and 3

• D; 1 and 2

• E-flat; 1

The correct answer is C!

When I say "Re" in class, tubas play C. We can play C on the tuba by pressing down the 1st and 3rd valves. These are the valves under your pointer finger and your ring finger.
