Steady, resonant Sound

Dear Mr. Hooten

I am a new member here, so I would like to say everybody hello!

I have a question to concern good sound through whole trumpet range. I am a trumpet student. I try to play open, centered, not forced but fat sound and I can make it but....only in the low and middle register. I can not keep the same resonance when I play in upper register. When I play above g on the top of the staff , my sound becomes thin. I also start feeling mouthpiece pressure and my lips stop vibrating as freely as in the middle register. I hear a lot of grat trumpeters and all of them play with fullness of ton, especially in the upper and high register.

How should I work on it?

Thank you for any help and sorry for my english
