Best Answer

The tuba produces sound by vibrating or buzzing the lips into a large cupped mouth piece. It produces different pitches by changing the mouthpiece. It is the lowest pitched instrument and the largest in the brass family. Tuba is a Latin word for Trumpet.

Like any other brass instrument. One buzzes into the mouthpiece and presses the valves appripriately. Other than that, you will need lessons or a long treatise to explain.
