The Tuba and Euphonium Studio

The Tuba/Euphonium studio is very active. This group performs on and off campus.

Students have the opportunity to play in the resident IWU Tuba/Euphonium Quartet, which was established in 2002. In addition, there is a tuba/euphonium ensemble, a second and sometimes a third tuba/euphonium quartet, a tuba trio, and a euphonium quartet. All chamber groups play on various concerts throughout the year with a studio concert in February. These ensembles are open to everyone in the studio and provide the students the opportunity to play chamber music and learn the tuba/euphonium ensemble literature. Students are encouraged to write original compositions for any one of the groups. The tuba and euphonium students at IWU are quite successful, often winning the Concerto/Aria Competition and Wind Ensemble Competition held in the School of Music. Many win national and international competitions and have performed all over the states. Several of the students have gone on to play in symphonies and teach throughout the US. In addition, every student who has ever continued his or her education in music has been awarded either a full assistantship or a scholarship to complete a Master of Music Degree.

The Tuba/euph ensemble performed Christmas music at the McClean County Nursing Home yesterday. It was an amazing experience play for such lovely and welcoming residents. There was some beautiful singing by some in the audience. It was a blessing for all involved.

End of the semester bowling outing. Tons of pizza and a few gutterballs. We missed those studio members who were unable to attend.
