The Tuba Player by Josef Kinzel [de ] , 1892
The tuba has been played since the mid-19th century, in the midst of the Romantic period of Western Classical music . Along with classical music, the instrument appears in a variety of jazz styles as well film and circus music . Most professional tubists are tied to ensembles such as symphony orchestras and bands—including brass , concert and Jazz bands —or academic institutions. A smaller minority spend their careers as solo or chamber musicians.
Among the instrument's notable classical performers are William Bell , John Fletcher , Arnold Jacobs and Harvey Phillips . Noted Jazz players include Don Butterfield , Howard Johnson and Michel Godard .[ 1] Accomplished soloist and chamber musicians include James Gourlay , Øystein Baadsvik , Velvet Brown and August Schieldrop . Tubists who played primarily for film scores are John Van Houten , Tommy Johnson and Jim Self .
