| When playing high notes it's common to assume that you need to use force and tension to play higher. While it does take some tension to play trumpet obviously, you need to relax your lips and use air. Air is the key to high notes not stress. Now i'm not sure if this helps at all but with the amount of great players on this board i'm sure you'll have this problem fixed in no time. But on the other hand, it's hard to give advice over the internet. If you really want to fix this problem I reccomend getting a private teacher. They could actually hear you play and pick out the specific things for you to work on. Best of luck! |
