  |  Jazz chops I know this is a very generic question between trumpet players, but how can I build my chops for higher notes. I can hit high E( 3 ledger lines above staff) but can't seem to get higher then that and I'm a lead player in jazz with now very demanding charts with G's and A's..... Help? Mike |

 | Re: Jazz chops High notes don't come quickly. They require lots of practice. Long tones and flexes at a quiet volume will help this. Do a search. There are literally hundreds of topics on high notes on these forums.

| Re: Jazz chops I began working on high notes by taking simple songs up an octave. Use your elementary book from 4th grade. Also read some of the past threads, there's lots of stuff. |

 | Re: Jazz chops Patience practicing will produce those notes. There are NO shortcuts. No magic horns, no magic mouthpieces and no magic systems will make these notes appear. Only intelligent practice over time will get the desired results. Practice! Wilmer
