16 Changing Meter Pieces

Davies's "16 Changing Meter Pieces" are intended for the serious private Tuba student at the 11th-12th grade level, though they can also be useful as remedial or preparatory material at the first year college level. Range, technique and rhythmic complexity have been minimized in order to avoid creating too many things for the student to focus on at once. For most students at this level, meter changes and interval structures within a non-tonal context are enough. Technique and range are more than adequately covered in other studies.

These fine pieces are more than just studies. They are musical works with a lot of character and should be a part of every Tubist's library.
