Johnathan,

As you can see, there are many different ways to figure out how to do this trill. There is no one real correct way, and all these ways will work. I play this always on a CC tuba, I just think it sounds better. I've tried the lip trill and I can do that, but I don't feel comfortable doing it in an audition. I just usually do the trill as 1-2 to 2. Sometimes the note doesn't change, but the general effect of the trill is still there.
