The position of the mouth while playing is an important part of how well one hits and holds high notes. Air flow can be controlled, embouchure can be adjusted, and breathing support can be provided. It is customary for trumpet players to run into the dreaded high note wall during their careers. By addressing these issues and others, you can significantly improve your range on trumpet. Some common issues that can limit range include incorrect mouthpiece placement, poor breathing technique, and incorrect embouchure. Once problem areas have been identified, you can then work on correcting them with the help of a private trumpet teacher or other qualified musician. In order to improve range on trumpet, it is important to first identify any problem areas in your technique.
