Education

As a Euphonium teacher (or, if you will, baritone horn teacher), I am frequently asked why I call an instrument a euphonium and a band teacher or parent calls the same instrument a baritone horn or baritone.  One rarely sees a true British Baritone here in the U.S.--this instrument has the same width of tubing throughout until the bell flare (it is a “cylindrical instrument” like a trumpet or trombone). 

So, most professional low brass teachers in the U.S. like myself would call all tenor tubas Euphoniums (whether the bell goes up or forward and whether or not it has three or four valves). For all of the chefs out there this euphonium naming question is a bit like cillantro vs. corriander or cream vs. half and half. . .
