I am pretty serious about tuba playing and consider myself a professional. For me to maintain my love for the tuba I take a long break away from the horn every year. Generally it is no playing at all for about three weeks. Then, when I come back I do lots of nasty loud and low stuff on my big horn to rebuild the musculature. It is not at all unlike training an athlete. Your mind and body need breaks. The caveat is that you must not mistake a planned break from playing with apathy or laziness. Do everything in your life, especially relaxation, with a purpose.
