Outside of the conventional playing opportunities for tubists such as working freelance, orchestral/chamber music playing, teaching, or solo work, there is a growing field of tuba players holding down the bass. There is space in the world for more unique approaches from tuba players because, at the current growth rate, it may soon happen that a tuba in the mix may redefine its musical potential to a wider audience.
Recognizing the new trend of Tuba Players appearing in television talk shows is surely a resonance from the tradition of tuba players supplying the BASS in diverse musical situations dating back to the 20s and 30s. I hope this experience inspires new perspectives to create options for the future.
