Here's my problem with the "Here's How To Play High-Notes" 'methods':
What is the first high note?

Bravo Joey.....exactly. I like to think of my embouchure as an extension of a full, singing, ringing middle G in either direction. The aperture leaning into the airstream is all of the compression necessary and finding the balance on each note is the key. The smaller the aperture, the faster the air velocity when escaping and vice versa. However, they are virtually equal throughout as we never let up on support of the air, keeping the column consistent.
