Oliver, Jonathan - Getting Started with Tuba Euphonium Quartets

The purpose of this book is to give performers the opportunity to create their own version of a tuba euphonium quartet and to perform music of various difficulty levels, styles, and genres with this new group. Arrangements in this book are based on musical ideas from around the world, including the United States, Russia, Ireland, and Spain. Multiple styles of music such as Blues, Swing, and Rock are included to help begin the concepts of improvisation. Different musical modes, key signatures, and meters are explored throughout the book, with careful consideration to the practical playing ranges of the instruments. I truly hope you enjoy this collection of works.
