1. Practice.
2. Get a (good) teacher because he or she can save you hours, days or weeks of practice simply by correcting your technique.
3. Find music you like to play ...

Buzz on that mouth piece and learn those scales. Find an awesome mentor too. The tuba is awesome! You are going to love it. Hard work and lots of practice will get you very far. Don't be afriad to ask questions and observe the pros.

Play lots of long notes, as long as you can play, when you'r starting. Hopefully it will improve your lung capacity so you only have to breathe every second measure.

I always do that before i start playing, because it warms up the instrument so your tuning doesn't change as you continue playng.
