How can I improve my range and tone quality?

Any tips for improving range and tone quality on a 5b trumpet mouthpiece?

  • I can only get an A above the staff and it can get strained quickly. How do I get a more full sound in the higher range?

  • Answer:

    Practice. Take lessons. Practice some more. Ask your teacher. Practice what he tells you. Record yourself practicing. Listen to the recording and practice some more. Find recordings of trumpet players you admire and listen to them obsessively. And don't forget to practice! Nothing is more important for trumpet playing than quality "face time." And rest as much as you practice. You don't want to injure your lips and ruin your career! If your lips are fatigued (or in pain) stop and rest for a (long) while. And always stop before you feel pain.
