Mix & Match Fundamentals by Alexander Lapins is suitable for college through professional tuba players.

Working on fundamentals is a day-to-day, month-to-month, year-to-year assessment of your ever-shifting abilities. With Mix and Match Fundamentals, build your routine around what you need on any given day, and what you hope to build into your playing in the long-term. Choose one exercise from each chapter to have a well-rounded fundamentals session; choose two or three from each chapter for a more robust session; or choose just one or two studies from this book as you see fit for a quick warm-up—mix and match your own routine!

“Wow! Such a great concept for a fundamentals book. As someone that absolutely loves fundamental work and gets into an almost meditative state, I’m not blind to the innate struggle some students/performers go through when trying to decide how and where to start their fundamental routine. This book really allows everyone to customize their fundamental focus based on what their learning goal for the day might entail—almost like a ‘choose your own adventure’!” - Dr. Danielle VanTuinen, Associate Professor of Tuba/Euphonium, University of Florida; Moreau/VanTuinen Duo

"What a wonderful new addition to the euphonium repertoire! I really enjoy the fresh approach in each section, especially the 'Active Long Tones' and 'Lower, Slower, Softer' chapters. I also think students and teachers will benefit from choosing a wide variety of exercises so you can customize your practice session. Players of all levels will find a tremendous number of fun and innovative patterns, rhythms, and exercises that will help you develop your fundamentals and skills, as well as challenge you!" - Adam Frey, Director, International Euphonium Tuba Festival; Director of Instrumental Studies and Associate Professor of Music, University of North Georgia
