Julie, you have a couple of choices. The first would entail the tuba player playing a BBb tuba(or a CC player with excellent transposition skills)and able to read treble clef(trumpet fingerings). This opens up the entire treble clef clarinet/trumpet literature for you. The second would be to get the Bb treble clef version and bass clef version of the Amsden Duets. These old warhorses are frought with the most extreme technical challenges. While not the most musically satisfying(on the surface anyway) they will be quite a show case for the two instruments. As was stated already, you turn this into a multi-level musical training experience and find what you like and transpose it to fit your needs. Hope this helped, Good Luck.
