I tried playing the tenor tuba parts for The Planets on F tuba. Couldn't do it. The part is written in treble clef, and I simply could not play the part without thinking about every single note. It looks like another "learn from scratch" problem, unless I can get my brain to engage and make the same context switch that it already does going from bass clef to treble clef when playing a Bb instrument. Anybody else have this problem?
Maybe this is the time to apply Mary Ellen's methodology and work on that perfect pitch concept...
