Yes, a euphonium is a type of brass instrument a bit like a small tuba, as far as I am aware.

When i was doing my grade i practiced and practiced but still got nowhere then my tutor said that i should get this scales book called Exam scales made easy.
You might want to try that because it worked for me they come with a cd as well
