How do you get higher on the trumpet?

people!! its not blow HARDER!!\n\nAir has two qualities - speed and quantity: \n\nSpeed=range\nQuantity=volume\n\nto play higher you must blow FASTER air. \n\nDo not think about making your lips tighter as well, as you will get a strained, thin sound.  \n\nThere are two parts of your embouchure (the formation your lips are in to buzz a mouthpiece).  You have the outer part that involves the corners of your lips and, your lips.  There is another part that you cant see called the aperture.  This aperture is the hole between your two lips that air comes from.  you want to think about making this hole smaller so that air moves faster.  You can do this by pulling your corners BACK.... do not try to scrunch your lips into the mouthpiece.\n\nALSO do not push the horn into your face as well. stay relaxed, take your finger out of the pinky ring - less pressure on your face.\n\nOne last thing - raise the back of your tongue in your mouth.  This will have the same effect on your air as when you put your thumb over the hole on the end of a hose to make the water spray farther and faster.\n\nMake sure you also have a nice full sounding low range - stuff from Low C - Low F# and even pedal tones.  If you work on the relaxed feeling of playing in that register, you will build the right strength for the higher register.\n\nPLaying lip slurs will also help build that strength.\n\nA teacher of mine who saw Maynard said he wasnt impressed with how high he could play - but his low register was the impressive part.

You can't. But eating Healthy and staying hit helps you attain your full natural hight. You'll only grow so much and you can't do anything about it.\nThough I have heard of a sergery that can do something to make you taller, but I don't know much about it.\n\nBe thankful for the height you have, somepeople are extremely short...for lack of a politer way to say it.

Congratulations on your first chair position - and on your efforts to improve your play.\n\nThe key to playing the piccolo (or flute) softly in the upper register is breath support, proper embouchure, and lots of practice. It is one of the more difficult skills to develop, and is therefore considered a mark of a good player.\n\nIf you're really serious about getting better, I'd suggest you find a private teacher in your area who can instruct, illustrate for, and coach you through improving your play. If private lessons are not an option for you, work with your band director. Ask him or her to recommend study books and other resources you can use to improve yourself.\n\nHere's a site with some good tips - you should be able to find more with yahoo or google. Best of luck!

Do you have a favorite song / artist ?\n\nTry to play along- You need to learn how the notes are located.\nTo play a 'Do-Rei-Me' scale you do need to try to bend two of the draw notes in the first 4 holes (#2 and # 3)- for the  complete scale in the first four holes.\nHoles 4-8 require no bending.\nMost harp players learn by ear- but do check out www.harphouse.com\nwww.harmonicamasterclass.com\nKeep trying...

Go somewhere with those outdoor tables with the attached bench (like in the lunch areas at schools). Then jump up on the bench, then up to the table, then down on the bench on the far side, then down to the ground. Turn around, and repeat. Do this as much as you can, and then work to increase how much you can do it.

No, but why would you want to play the trumpet?

Trombone is easy if you can buzz a Bass Clef B flat (low one on staff) up to a Bass Clef F (just above it) with your lips.  Try hoding your two fingers about the right distance apart to be like a trombone mouthpiece, place them lightly on your lips and buzz them.  Try to match it on the piano and slowly buzz a scale while youMost people have a "high buzz" or a "low buzz".  Check your out this way.\n\nGood beginner brands are Getzen, Yamaha, King, etc.  Jupiter, not so good.  Bundy is bad.  Good luck!

u need to be a good player first and keep practising

Use a metronome and go over licks that you want to speed up. Gradually bring it up faster, but stop if you are making mistakes. You don't want to make the habit of playing fast and sloppy. Use alternating picking (Picking the notes upstroke and down), don't brink your fingers too far from the fretboard.

practice....its a little easier if you have a rear shock, but there is a delay with the shock due to more pre-load thats slows you down, so going over obsticles are timed differently,  i prefer hard tail.  level your cranks parellel to the ground (or close) push down with  your weight bending your knees, into the bike towards the ground, if youre using platform pedals angle your toes down so you have some grip on the pedals and shoes. after you preload down on the bike, use the energy from the preload to pull the bike upwards with your feet hooked to the pedals and up on the handlebar.  like your jumping with your bike under you.  you dont have to be going fast, you can even do it stalling (being still). and practice

Try this. you will need a metronome. Practice the fast piece at the slowest tempo on the metronome. (you will feel like a retard but trust me) then take the tempo a little faster. As you get better you can increase the tempo. Be careful to make as little mistakes as possible.If you make a rythmn mistake  take the tempo on the metronome back to a slower tempo.  Do this until you get to the rythmn that the piece is written. If you can play the piece without mistakes then you have improved on your rythmn

You cannot.\nHowever you can learn from the mistakes of others (and their successes) to take advantage of their experiences,  instead of having to bump your head (life) against most obstacles and mistakes that are possible. \nAim high, it is difficult to get there, but you will "land" higher than if you aimed at what you thought was "OK".
