| As someone else said, "What's the point?"
Is nailing a DHC the point?
It's really not that hard guys.
What's hard is being a fine muscian. A complete trumpet player.
High notes are just another tool, and not close to the most important.
If you get up everyday and the most important thing in the world to you is to "not chop out!".....than by all means, go for it.
But if you are more interested in music, how to connect with an audience and find your best sound...then you may want to go elsewhere.
Ego......scream out all the triple C's you want and call attention to yourself...
Or learn to make music and give the audience a present each time you play.
A fine high register is not hard to obtain, does not require some exotic approach. It's just another part of good trumpet playing.
Becoming obscessed with screaming is a dead end. Learning to play a fine high register so you have all the technique needed to make music is a different approach.
Serve the music and the rewards will be significant. Serve the ego and the rewards are temporary.
