keep trying young whipper snapper! You can do it. I`ve been playing trumpet for 52 years now and i have taught three of my grandchildren how to play. My advice is...... Wash your elbows before playing clear your nostrils and practice while sitting on the toilet and lift your eyebrows when trying to reach those high note they can be quite difficult sometimes so just keep moving those eyebrows.!It help if you do eyebrow exercises 5 minutes each day.
