How can I play higher notes on trumpet?

Blow harder.

i wish it was that easy

Purse your lips tighter?

@RealEyesRealizeRealLies Dammit. You beat me to it.

@Jeremycw1 It takes practice. I’ve played some trombone for school a few years ago primarily to avoid a very scary chorus teacher, but that’s not important; Just keep trying to hit the high notes and, for some mysterious reason, it will become easier.

I used to play trumpet.
Gotta just keep practicing buzzing your lips, even just with the unattached mouthpiece.
You’re not gonna hit the high notes unless you got lungs full of air and a well-practiced mouth (that sounds kinda dirty, actually…)
Air + vibration. That’s my best advice.

Used to play, and I took lessons when I was in high school and college. You need private lessons to advance, you can’t do it yourself. Good luc

point your toes ;-)

Friend says: blow as if you were blowing something off of your shirt; aim your wind straight down.

@squidcake @Fred931 thanks for the advice!
