General Announcemnt: i will be gone June 22 through August 4. During that time i will be checking my mail but i won't be able to maintain this page. if you need help, please contact one of the other band nerds.

this page is about everything you could ever want to know about tubas and trombones and euphoniums and probably a lot more. i will be your hostess, tuba_woman. you can call me jess though if you want. :-) for starters, you may wish to visit my page and sign the guestbook there. then scan the rest of this page for some links to low brass advice, including: maintenance; performance and warm up;  practice, what horn to buy and when to buy it, literature to study, accessories, the peculiarities of being a low brassist, and how to cope with switching between different instruments.
