Flow Studies for Euphonium: A Daily Phrasing and Technique Regimen by David Vining, edited by Robert Benton, is appropriate for high school through professional euphonium players.

Flow Studies is designed to help you develop air flow efficiency by playing musical phrases in a wide array of ranges, keys, and rhythms. The etudes are presented in a daily format with eight etudes per day, for a total of fifty-six etudes. Flow Studies offers a musical way to cultivate the important technical skill of breath control, and musical incentives are always more compelling to musicians than technical ones!

“'Flow Studies' are a top-notch addition to your daily fundamental routine. These lyrical passages take the player through many wonderfully varying patterns in all keys, varying articulations, note lengths, and speeds over a wide range of the tuba. On a daily basis, the player is given different exercises so that the routine does not become routine…this is a great book!” - Michael Roylance, Principal Tuba, Boston Symphony Orchestra; Tuba Faculty, New England Conservatory of Music; Lecturer, Boston University
