The course guides the future artist to independence, fulfillment of their own ideas and defense of their thoughts. Considering that each student has differing skills in reacting to new situations, or has other physical talents for mastering individual aspects of playing, individual paths for each are chosen which allows for the quick learning of proper habits and eliminating everything that is not part of playing. The course intent is to find the proper road to removing these deficiencies, improving proper techniqe, continuing in the practice of proper breathing, etc. Rhythmic, intonation and metric precision is practiced in etudes - Raniery, Hoza. It is necessary that the student properly understand as early in Tuba 1 all playing technique principles. Students learn to master individual fingers such they they will be able with any of them to hold any and every tone which seems important or interesting to emphasize of course in coordination with embouchure..
