Read MoreI have been playing the tuba for over 45 years and would consider myself an advanced player. I practice 10 to 14 hrs per week but not always effectively. I also struggle to play more musically. Improving your playing takes a lot of time and patience. Practicing the same way or wrong way doesn’t help. Øystein’s Tuba Academy is a structured approach for tuba players at all levels but is especially beneficial for advanced and professional musicians that wish to take their abilities to the next level. In addition to the basics there are a lot of tips that helped me in areas like range, multi tonguing and musicianship. Anytime I have an issue or need Øystein’s advice, he is always available for a quick coaching via email or the Academy’s forum. If you are serious about becoming a better player, there isn’t a better tool available for the tuba.

Read MoreI am so happy to have access to the academy. The initial lessons are just awesome in all respects: I can imitate a perfect model and get tips from an expert, who knows exactly what tuba players' weaknesses are. The lessons have a one-to-one feeling and the teacher is friendly and reassuring. And do not let the "Twinkle, Twinkle" fool you: to execute the variations perfectly in all the aspects to be able to play duets with Oystein Baadsvik will take some rehearsal time and give you a bit of a challenge. And this is where successful learning comes from.
