The tuba Is the largest and the deepest sounding brass instrument. It adds a depth to every ensemble that no other brass instrument can. Good tuba players are always in demand. Like the other brass instruments when combined with other instruments the sound that is produced is quite magical!


Learning to play the tuba

You can learn the tuba in individual lessons or in small groups. Group lessons can either be all on the same instrument or in a mixed brass session. You will learn how to hold the instrument, good technique, and how to control your breathing and your tongue.


  • Benefits of learning the tuba

    Learning the tuba requires strength and skill which will help to develop coordination. It can improve your memory and concentration. You can learn a whole range of musical styles. Plus, playing brass instruments improves breathing technique and can give players lungs as efficient as athletes

  • Is it the right instrument for me?

    If you are looking for a versatile instrument and want to play something in a band with others then the tuba could be the instrument for you. Brass players also get all the best bits in film music; they get the big tunes and all the glory; think Star Wars, Superman, Avengers, James Bond etc. Listen out for a brass instrument next time you are watching your favourite film!
