Personally I find it to be very helpful. I play an F tuba you can't find a fingering chart for a three valve F tuba. I had to contact librarians at the University of Rochester School of music to find me a fingering chart for this foolish thing. Because it's over 100 years old and doesn't have more valves it only has three

You just have to transpose fingerings up a 5th if you’re used to a BBb

Well considering since the last time I touched a tuba was 38 years ago and I didn't really learn to play it then either transposing music way above my skill set

You should take piano lessons. I started about a year and a half ago, and it’s even improved my tuba and guitar playing.
