Hey ev`rybody! I have tons of trouble with making my high notes stable and strong. I usually can`t play a high G any louder than mezzo piano. I`m trying to blow faster air, but I get the "blah" sound. Can someone help me out? Thanx

What I did to build up my range was to slur all of my scales. In order to get the high G, I slurred the F scale. Normally it builds up enough strength to get the note above it while tonguing. After you can slur the F scale, then you could try slurring the G scale. You just have to work your way up. Hope this helps.
