First time playing in a brass quintet in over a year. Let’s not wait another one to do it again! #tuba #brassquintet

One of these days I’ll move into a house with a beautifully manicured yard just waiting to be enjoyed. Until that happens, looks like I’m on landscaping duty. Not done yet, but well on the way. #nova #landscape #mybackhurts

Beautiful day for an impromptu 5 mile hike with my lovely partner in crime, @mrs_guimaraes . Interesting observation about my Instagram followers... Any time I post tuba related content, I see an immediate increase in followers, conversely, any time I post non-tuba related content, I lose followers 🤦‍♂️. With that in mind, I am choosing to share this picture with all of you knowing it will likely have a “price.” To that I’ll say, tuba is a part of life, not life itself. If you want to be a better musician, be a better person and live your life. My Instagram is just that, a pictorial representation of all of it. Go live your lives in balance. #tuba #tubaplayer #hiking #balance #balancedlife #musician

I’m happy to share that Comet’s training is going well. She is starting to figure out her place in the pack and @mrs_guimaraes and I are also learning how to establish ours. These dog training sessions should be called “human training sessions.” Thanks @cak9s_ for your guidance so far. #dog #dogowner #dogtraining #workingdog

A critical factor in allowing the performer the ability to convey the smoothness and directionality of the music/phrase is FLEXIBILITY. Bumps in the sound and unintentional changes of color as you navigate the various partials are like speed bumps on the road - They create an interruption of momentum. Spending just a few minutes every day developing your flexibility along with breathing, audiation (singing, buzzing), long tones, dynamic control (tone, reliability, intonation), range, and articulation, will give you the foundation for freedom of expression. Arguably more important than one's ability to play the tuba is having something of value to say. Be overtaken by your curiosity to expand your musical vocabulary by listening to great music across all genres. #tuba #tubaplayer #lowbrass #euphonium #brass #flexibility
