I don’t think there are any practical shortcuts to learning Eb fingerings. It will take lots of repetitive practice on basic technical exercises in all the keys.
I have recently switched to EEb tuba as my primary instrument and I have found that the Smart Music Studio provides the very best exercises that I have every seen to learn a new tuba. Go to http://www.codamusic.com/coda/ for information about the software. It provides written exercises which can be read from your computer screen with audio accompaniments for over 50,000 exercises. All exercises can be repeated in every key and at any tempo. It is very easy to use and the subscription price is very reasonable.
