The Panofka Vocalises offer immense benefits to musicians of all skill levels. These exquisite songs serve as an exceptional introduction to the art of singing with a smooth, legato style. Notably, these compositions stand out for their ability to present complete musical ideas within relatively concise pieces. Students find great value in these progressive studies due to their exploration of various keys, both major and minor, as well as the advancing challenges they pose in terms of intervallic technique.

Great for Focused Playing
The Panofka Vocalises are a great resource for both young and experienced tubists, particularly in the area of focused playing. Frequently we overwhelm our students with material that is challenging on multiple levels, causing them to frequently miss some aspect of musicality present on the page but not in their playing. These vocalises allow for developing a high level of musicianship through the use of focused playing. Because I'm not concentrating my focus on challenging register or technical demands, I am better able to focus on how my breathing is impacting my playing. Or on how connected my legato playing is, or is not, sounding. Or whether or not I'm truly creating dynamic contrast throughout a given vocalise. The piano accompaniment is a great benefit too, allowing for a satisfying and motivating first recital experience for young tubists. Thank you for these beautiful vocalises!

A great "find" for young tuba players
This book has provided excellent musical experiences for my younger (middle school) tuba players. A BIG plus is the piano acc. book. I use this one piano book with my trumpet and trombone kids. First class.
