Edited byRobert Kingand published by Alphonse Leduc,70 Studies for B flat Tuba Volume 1byVladislav Blazhevichcontains the first 42 studies out of 70.
These studies do not correspond to a method for Tuba and it is generally understood that70 studiesare actually inspired from another piece of work fromBlazhevich: ‘Clef Studies for Trombone’, even though 13 of these 70 studies did not appear in it. They were not transposed for Tuba but adapted for this instrument.
These studies have become part of the basic teaching methods and these books are some of the most-mentioned study books for Tuba which became very popular. While they help to develop Tuba techniques, they can be used by different age ranges and different skill ranges.
