A Trumpet has 3 keys that are used to play it. there are many combinations which the keys are pressed and each combination results in a different note. Learning the different combinations is the hardest part of learning any instrument. Once you memorize the notes and which keys are pushed to make them, it becomes easier to learn to play. If you have the ambition to learn, the confidence that you can, and the patience to take the time to learn, You will enjoy playing any instrument that you try to play! have fun with it.
It depends on what you mean by "hard to blow." If you mean it resists being blown through, then no. Not at all. However when playing lower notes it takes a lot of wind and one tends to hyperventilate when playing sustained low notes.
Compared to higher-range brass instruments, the tuba is generally easier (but obviously more weight to carry if you are in a marching band!). The muscular tension needed in the lips is less for the larger tuba mouthpiece than the trumpet, for example. It is actually more difficult to play rapid sequences of changing notes on the tuba, but a typical tuba part does not have runs of 16th notes.
Not exceptionally. It is a good beginner instrument.
it depends plus if you are used to playing a different instrument like a softer instrument it might be harder for you to play the tuba :) plus you have to blow really and I mean really hard
In my opinion, yes they are easy to play and I have a physical disability.
up your butt! just fart and let it slide out hard
You blow into it with a large "raspberry" type fassion, tightening your lips to get a higher pitch.
the tuba is the largest
Yes - on the plus side you don't need to learn new valvle combinations or how to make a sound on the instrument. However, you will find that there is a difference in your embechoure (to do with the mouthpiece on tuba being considerably bigger), you will have to blow harder to get the air moving in the tuba. Also, you may find that the tuba has a 4th valve, which is on the side adn played with the left hand (this is the same as playing 1 and 3, so for a low D you can just use 4th valve, and for a C# use 4th and 2nd). You will also have to learn bass clef. However, these are all things that are quick to learn, and with a grounding in trumpet you will probably find that you will be proficient on tuba in a much shorter length of time than it took to learn trumpet in the first place. Good luck and have fun!
It is Tuba because there is two ba's and it stands for tuba

No, the contra-bass tuba is much larger than the C tuba.
