As a far better than average junior, I have already found out that very, very few people can expect to make a living playing tuba in an orchestra or military band. Does that stop me from trying? No. That is what I would like to do, and if I can't make it, I hope I find out during college, so I can change majors and learn something that will help me get a good job that I like.
Right now I'm brushing up Hartley's Suite for Unaccomp. Tuba and fiddling with Lebedev's Concerto in 1 Mvt. Good amount of overtones and flexibility exercises everyday.
My post as I reread it seems so negative, though its just meant to be truthful, the world of music is a wonderful place, with thousands upon thousands of incredible people to know, and it is where I want to be.
