chrisolka.com and The Dirty Thirty
Hey guys, I hope you all have had a great Thanksgiving and a peaceful weekend so far. I’ve got big news today! After more than ten years and thousands of requests from tuba players around the world asking for the “sheet music” for my YouTube Channel Series “Drill of the Week,” my wife has taken the initiative and learned web design during the COVID lockdown. The result is my own website chrisolka.com that will host my current recordings along with the downloadable PDF files for each of the videos in this series!
The first test of this website will be a multi-part PDF for my new “Dirty Thirty” https://youtu.be/bzIokSXvzLE YouTube warm-up video. If you’d like to download the sheet music to play along with the video or use for your own warm-up, simply visit my web store and download the music for it here: https://chrisolka.com/index.php/product/the-dirty-thirty/
If things go as planned and the website functions properly, we will start releasing the other PDFs for each “Drill of the Week” for download over the next few weeks.
Meanwhile, visit my new website, designed by my incredible wife, and see what you think. I hope you enjoy it!
Chris Olka

Back in the day….
Occasionally, I will post some pictures from earlier in my career that are meaningful to me. Here is one from my days as a member of the TubaFours at Walt Disney World.
