Tubaerobics by Aubrey Foard, Principal tuba with the Baltimore Symphony: a well thought-out and organized daily routine with troubleshooting, tips and tricks!
"Tubaerobics is a must own for every tubist! Aubrey Foard has meticulously crafted a book of exercises that is approachable by players of all levels. From rst exercises of the day to be done on the mouthpiece or as a free buzzing exercise, to Aubrey’s personal daily warm-up routine with emphasis on POH breaths, long tones for dynamics, pitch, and sound, low range articulation exercises, and range extension exercises, to the extended warm-up for tuba players that are looking to go even further, this book has it all. Aubrey’s helpful insights that precede each exercise are like lessons unto themselves. Across the collection, there is an emphasis on air and sound as the primary focus, and I cannot agree more with Aubrey’s Two Truths: air creates sound, and free blowing air is the necessary vehicle to create a beautiful sound. This book will be avidly used in my Eastman studio and should be in the library of every aspiring tubist!"
Dr. Justin Benavidez, Professor of Tuba and Euphonium, Eastman School of Music
"Aubrey Foard’s Tubaerobics is a fantastic new method that should go in every student and teacher’s library. It fuses the tried and tested axioms of brass playing with thoughtfulness and intentionality, creating solid building blocks that are as powerful for beginners as they are for professional players. I’d recommend this to anyone who wants to take their playing to the next level!"
Cristina Cutts Daugherty, Principal Tuba, Phoenix Symphony Orchestra
"Aubrey’s Tubaerobics deserves a place in every tuba player’s toolkit. It’s a fun, comprehensive, and thoughtfully crafted resource that challenges and motivates players at all levels. The detailed section descriptions are a major bonus—they offer valuable insights into Aubrey’s own approach to the instrument. Add this to your practice routine and start setting new personal records in no time!"
John DiCesare, Principal Tuba, Seattle Symphony Orchestra
"Aubrey Foard’s Tubaerobics is a fresh approach to training tuba fundamentals. Buzzing and exhalation-based long tones progress simply to flexibility, range expansion, and articulation fluency. Aubrey’s advice accompanies each exercise series. It's useful for players at every level of development"
David Kirk, Principal Tuba, Houston Symphony Orchestra
"This book is an engaging, insightful and accessible dive into the intricacies and nuances of fundamentals that are central to our craft. Aubrey does an outstanding job of addressing the “what,” “why” and “how” of fundamentals, offering guidance and exercises that are easily understandable and readily applicable. This is a great text for any student or teacher looking to refine and deepen their approach to fundamentals (which should be all of us!) and a meaningful addition to our repertoire."
Dr. Bethany Wise, Professor of Tuba, Vanderbilt University

John Good, solid warm-up material. Easy to fake your way through, but the whole point is to keep working at it until you are no longer cheating. Great for chop building and rebuilding.
