My Full Trumpet Course is now available at my website www.trumpet-guy.com/course and you just pay what you think the course is worth. More explained on the website.

I’m a woodwind player and I tried to play trumpet for fun and damn it’s hard. I have a new respect for trumpet players. 👍🏻

I play really high notes super easy, it doesnt take skill... I play percussion

Trombone- does high note This dude- hold my valve oil

i’ve played these notes! when i stubbed my toe this morning!

keep in mind intonation. You should always keep a tuner when doing long tones like these

Highest note: Double C Highest comfortable note: High E What I do: I always start with working the comfortable range, extending the comfortable range translates to extending the upper register. Just playing 5 notes above and 5 notes below your highest comfortable note (do this to start off with and by 5 notes I mean the 5 half steps above and below). After that you can go to the extreme register practice. This is where I go a few notes (half steps) below my highest note and just keep assessing using half steps. Basically playing the line between playable and unplayable. It is not fast at all but it is effective for me. It also it’s just about working on the lines of your comfortable range and the line of your external range. Basically trying to extend both of those and therefore increasing your range. (Edit: by comfortable I mean the note that I can always hit or the note that I don’t feel trouble playing)

this guy is like both super sharp and airy the entire time.

I cant play high but i can play while high...

Play high notes is easy I play piano

Clarinet: **plays super high note** Trumpet section: SHAIHAKAUAJSISHSOAUAJSUSBAISBSJS (I’m a trumpet player too lol)

My highest note is a high C#. I usually do lip slurs, starting from g,c,g,c in the staff, then going on, and it kind of sounds like the jeopardy theme song.

Remember to tongue correctly, little more precisely, as well as use smooth air stream and be a little more in tune, but otherwise good job man.

Sticky valves be like *pours whole bottle of valve oil on sticky valves*

Step 1: smoke weed Step:2 play trumpet *DONE*

I’m a clarinet player what in the actual hell am I doing here

This helped cuz im in 7th grade and i need to start getting high F’s and G’s at the top of the staff 🥵

when you said c i thought you meant like the 3rd between the lines so i was like *pfft, that’s easy* I WAS NOT EXPECTING YOU TO GO THAT HIGH

Piano be like: What's so hard about playing high notes? Just press this key! 😎

Thanks for this I shared it with my classmates in seventh grade band; they said they'd try it out👍😉 Edit: here I am back again my freshman year, I can play twice as high😂

I am a senior and returning trumpet player . I’m really working on my embouchure first and foremost. But this tutorial is very informative and will help me a lot. I have always wanted to play higher notes and would not play a piece if it went over over staff G.

I just came to listen to u play 💯💯 great job

I am currently a trumpet player in my 6th grade band. I chose the trumpet because of you, so thank you for that! This is going to help me a lot with reaching the "G" above the scale!

Looking forward to checking out the rest of your series! Glad I have some new exercises to try out, thanks!

Get this man a 100k he deserves /edit sorry I forgot thanks for likes outta everyone else you like my comment appreciate it

Thanks for your help my dude. I've kind of been stuck at High C with my range and I wanna be able to get a D with no problem 👌

Thank you very much I will watch your video every day to get to the highest note on each video. Very helpful. I made sure I was in tune to your notes 😁👍

My record is a double C but I have terrible form. Only been playing for 3 years so I might be rushing it. Thanks for the help strengthing my range from squeaks!

High Note: Double High C.. Tips: to improve tone and keep those notes in your high register in tune.. Move the mouthpiece so it centered on your face this will help with everything in general

Thank you very much I will watch your video every day to get to the highest note on each video. Very helpful. I made sure I was in tune to your notes

🎺😀🎹Pretty decent advice for those looking to begin improving their range above the staff!🎺😀🎹

I work with this guy, he's dope as hell!

Thank you for this great video!

gold if watch till the end guys! thanks for the video

Thanks for this I needed it

This is a great experience

excellent practice, delivers step by step, day by day, from the hugh notes fear

I’m glad I found you I’m a highschool looking to build my range even higher my highest note is E above the staff

Yo this really helped me I thank you so much!!!

I am a trumpet player and I can play up to an E above the staff and I am only in seventh grade. My technique is go up by octaves and once I get to the hi C, I hold it for about five or six seconds, and keep going up from their!

Highest note is the "g" above double high "c". Have been playing trumpet for quite a long time and range is something that has come a little easier for me as long as I continue to work on it. I use arpeggios starting at a low C and work upward holding each note for a couple of seconds but always returning to the original starting point to ensure lower note tone quality is maintained. For performance, I usually don't go above the "a" below double "c" unless it really necessary. Finding playing along with various cover songs from Maynard Ferguson, Wayne B., and Jerry Hey really help with ensuring the notes are musical and not just screaming.

Thanks! It's my real struggle, I'm always working on them

thank you for this exercise!

I’m a beginner and this helped a lot - I thought I could barely play the E that’s the top space but got the F just above that first time playing along - thanks for the exercise 😁

Thanks! This is really helpful coming from a 7th grader. Love your vids. :D

the highest note i’ve ever played on my trumpet was a C# but an octave higher that the note you went up to, it’s only happened once but i don’t think i’ve ever been more excited about something. the highest note i can consistently hit is a high A (octave higher than A with one ledger line)

"I'm only gonna go up to a high C or C#." Me: Only?!?!

This video made me reach #C3 and it was my first time doing so!

this has really helped

This really helps I’m trying to play high C above the staff in middle school on 2 pieces

Thank you for the tips,

I'm a beginner and this helped a lot

0:35 Should I get my metronome, or...

On a good day my highest note is a high f to f sharp maybe even a g (above staff), but I practice scales 2 octaves alot.

My highest note is a high D above the staff. I have a song that my bd gave me that had a high E. Sooo I’m trying to reach that! But today I am not having a good trumpet playing day so I am here for tips. Thank you sm! :)

i started trumpet in January, without being able to play the high E and now i can almost consistently play 3rd b

Thanks for the help! I think this is going to be very beneficial whenever I'm playing trumpet and stay cool 😁

Yayyyy more videos

There are two types of people in this world. People who oil their keys threw the bottom, and those who take out their keys to oil. Well I’ll be a moth’s wool suit, I’ve gotten myself a heart. Right back at you my fellow Trumpeter.

OMG I HIT A HIGH G!! THX SO MUCH FOR THE TIPS!!!

So helpful!!

My highest note I can do while practicing is the high F (one octave higher than the one on top of the staff), my high C is strating to feel much more confortable, thats all thanks to Gordon Systematic. As a music student, I'm far from having the best knowledge to teach, but i think range isn't the thing that is the most important to work on. Of course, it needs to be part of the practice routine, but far from being the priority. I like to think the trumpet as if it was a city. For the city to work all on its own it needs many components, well it's the same for the trumpet. Work on lip slurs, fingering, long tones, sight reading and the list goes on and on. It takes years for the city to work all on its own. Well, likewise on the trumpet, it may take years to feel confident on the trumpet and play almost everything you want right away. On my part everytime i reach a new milestone and feel like i'm reaching the top, I like to quote Doc. Disrespect, I may be at the top now, but I'm really only half way there. At the end of highschool, i felt like i was the best, on the top, but I'm all the way back to bottom at my college. It's like a whole new world has opened up to me really. TL:DR Range is not everything and I still need to improve a lot.

can i just say...you’re awesome

I felt like Otto walking into “Stoners Pot Palace.” Total false advertising man haha

I’m a freshman in college and I can consistently hit triple g’s and I hit one c one time. I use chromatics and scales to help me get up that high. And lots of practice.

I’m in 6th grade, first year of playing trumpet. I found my favorite song in trumpet form, but it goes REALLY high. I’m trying to start playing higher, and the other day I hit a high G!

I’m 1st trumpet in my high school, and here’s what my director taught me, faster air = higher notes. Keep in mind of building a muscle memory of how fast your air needs to be or how slow it needs to be to play certain notes, it’s almost like spitting at different speeds to get certain notes lol.

1st year playing trumpet and i have made it to e so far, but we’re doing ride by hazo so it’s time to push to G

Currently my highest note is currently a high E#, and I can play it rather well, it’s just easier to get a headache, so I reserve the chops and air for the ending stand tunes we play during marching season in case I can just jump the octave to that E or E# at max, or the random divide that throws in the chance for me to show off among the other trumpets, since I have the highest consistent range (consistent, not overall, there’s other students who can hit higher notes, but end up going on their own injured reserve list, lol). Building it higher is what I want before I go to college though, the more notes I can grow, the more proud I can be and the more music I can play. That confidence always helps performance wise, so... range practice I go!

Nice exercise! I have been playing for 4 years and my highest notes is a high E on good days, normaly a high C. I do long tones up to the highest note or play some tunes in the upper register.

Thank you! I'm starting to wonder what I pay my teacher for hahaha. I've been struggling with the finger positions on those higher notes and this was really very helpful.

So I play clarinet and bass clarinet, and trumpet came semi easy to me, like I felt it was hard but then I tried high notes, and it was so hard but this video helped

I usually start on low c or maybe pedal c, and I go up by each open note (I play it at piano or maybe quieter) and play each not for about half a minute with minute rests. My highest note is triple C (5 1/2 ledger lines above the staff)

I dont even play trumpet

This is great information. I just bought a trumpet and have learned the basic c major scale. Finding the next set of notes has been difficult but I will try these tips. Do the notes harmonically repeat themselves on the trumpet or are you using alternate fingering?

After have 2 years experience of playing the French Horn I was able to do this within weeks of having a trumpet

If you’re going to do the Bill Adam routine then you need to rest as long as you play. So if you play for 8 counts then you need to rest for 8 counts. Always keep your mind in the sound. Let’s FIRE IT UP TRUMPET PLAYERS!! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🎺

Highest note was a double Bb but I took a 1 week break and now I’m down to a double g so I’m back at it again trying to improve

This is a good starting point, but to develop the power and fluidity in the upper register you will need to do much more than long tones.

I practice two octave scales, two octave arpeggios, Clarke's Fifth Study, and Caruso Seconds study. Lately I have a consistent d above the staff and a relatively consistent third ledger line e. I also low notes and even pedal tones with the Stamp method.

I use the Caruso studies and I can play triple gs sometimes, but usually my range told out around double c and double d

Thanks your gonna me better and more skillfull its gonna help me a lot do thanks

I honestly don’t know what I’m doing here. I’m a trombone player.

Functionally I can really only get up to like a high E but I’ve cracked out a double E. I use the more power more range exercises.

awesome

Holy sharp

My little list that I always tell people that ask for high register tips *1. To gain range you need to play in the upper register more often (It's probably going to have to be a daily thing in your practice routine, just make sure that it isn't the only thing you practice however) *2. Just go slowly by half-steps 3. Octave glisses 4. Watching out for excessive mouthpiece pressure in the upper register 5. Your mouthpiece placement on the chops 6. Fast/ efficient air *7. Relaxing the throat - not forcing the note out, letting the air do the job for you 8. Starting articulation of the note you are trying to learn 9. Hearing the note in your head before you play it 10. Resting the chops (After practicing all throughout the week I usually give myself Saturday & Sunday off) 11. Having confidence *12. Tightening the core - Breathing from the abdomen "Flexing your core" If you want to see my high register playing, check out my KZfaq channel kzfaq.info/love/0zqaQGuJmVSwEuz5h7fydQ

First time i see you play high 😀

My highest note is double A I never did anything specific for range building, just built a ton endurance in the the mid and low register.

Hi. Thank you for your video. I played the trumpet for many years with a rare embouchure, and did a lot of high note exercises, and I never did! I had to change the position of my lips and now everything I play is easier. You can't play the trumpet with a trombone embouchure !! Positions are the most important

I played the first and the second exercise (Because the third one is too hard for me) 3 days in a row and I expanded my range by one tone. I'm 12 by the way.

I really am going to use these videos to my advantage. I have been playing trumpet for only 8 months and i have been trying to get my range higher. i am comfortable with up to high G but i have reached A and Bb a few times. I go from low C and go up half steps until i can't hit the note. I usually make it to F-G# but did once make it to Bb but when I tried B natural, I hit F# I really hope these videos help me. Thanks!

I will try this, and i hope it works!, my limit right now is a b flat

So I've been watching you upload these videos and I was like, "Oh, I don't need to build my range! I can reach a middle C and I've been in beginning band for a few months, I'm all good," and ofc, today, my teacher said I'd be playing in this all district trumpet ensemble and now EVERYBODY has to work on their range. T^T

ive been playing trumpet for about 1 1/2 years and i can play high d

Thanks I just a new horn. Getting backul my chops

Cool!

Hi I'm in beginner band in 6th grade I learn so much from you

What’s scary is the amount of people who struggle playing up there. Not being able to comfortable play high, is usually not due to lack of technical excercise, but more lack of incorrect embouchure placement, different things work for different people, but the biggest contributing factor to range issues, is usually embouchure and muscle development deficiency’s, which technical excercise may help to fix, or only aggravate the situation until it is isolated and fixed. When your embouchure is set properly and you have developed good habits, the technical exercise will then have its biggest impact.
