The key to playing high notes with good tone is to try to open up. It`s not the amount of air that you use, but it`s the speed of the air that determines how the note will sound. The key is to try to fill the horn with super fast moving air. This can be accomplished by increasing the amount of preasure behind the air that you use using your diaphram. Again, you must concentrate on filling the horn with super fast moving air.
