I currently play the oboe, flute, tenor sax, and somewhat of the clarinet in my high school band, and I was wondering: would it be hard to switch to a brass instrument (namely tuba)? The two main instruments I play are the oboe and the tenor. I taught myself how to play both of them, and according to my band teacher, I'm skilled in both. It took me a few weeks to learn the tenor, and a few moths to learn/get a good sound out of the oboe.Our brass line in marching band is extremely weak, and less than half of them can play their instruments/parts. I know the school will supply a tuba for me, but my parents are hesitant to let me switch to another instrument, namely because I bought a tenor sax about a half a year ago, and they want me to stick with it for all four years in high school. Will switching to tuba mess up my embourchure for oboe? Is tuba a relatively easy instrument to learn? And how do I convince my parents to let me switch?
Thank you.
