Yup, probably is.



If it isn't, then it's probably in your head, which may or not be a quick fix. Sometimes our body fools us into thinking "high" = "hard." Try this:

Play an E major scale going up to your high e and observe the sound, feel, etc. Do the same with an A major scale (a fourth higher), and once again observe. It doesn't matter if you make it to the high a or not, but how was that high e this time? The same? If so, it is probably too much pressure, not enough air, and/or practice. Have fun, and don't hurt yourself!
