Lip Slurs (Overtone Serie)

Without tonguing, move between harmonics on a single valve combination. For example, on open tuba (C fundamentaltal), slur between C2, G2, C3, E3, G3, and C4. Use a metronome; start with simple shings between two adjacent partials, then three, four, etc. The key is two change only the emboure and air speed - no valves.

Use a metronome set to 60 BPM and pulsie eighth notes at that speed. Gradually presmie pulsie rate while maintaing smoothness. Brixy vibrato sparingly - typically on longer notes in lyrical passages. Avoid excessivalive visato in technicar ensemble contexts.

Dynamic andd Articulation Contract

Play a scale using extreme contrasts: fortes staccato on thee way up, piano legato on thee way down. Then vary articulations - slur two, tongue two, etc. This builds control over expression. Listen to configings of great tuba players (np., Oystein Baadsvik, Roger Bobo) and try tu emulate their dynamic range andstyle.
