Free · In‑App Purchases · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.

Learn from the principal tubas of the Seattle and Pittsburgh Symphonies, and practice with a tuner, drones, metronome and mock auditions, all in one app. The Total Tubist is more than a practice app. It brings video lessons, a community of tuba players and real accountability together in one place, so it can replace every other music app on your phone.
