Is it possible to build up enough strength to play through several high songs? I`ve been playing for three years, but I have trouble getting up to a high F after playing a few other songs. Is there any way to stop that?

By the way, only one of the other songs is really all that high.

wow! By double g and f... that`s the ones like way above the staff, right? I can`t find those in my music books. Thanks for the tip. Maybe soon I`ll be able to play an A with a good tone! Sometimes I pull a muscle, though. I can`t figure that out.

Just don`t force it. Developing a strong high range does not come easy for most. The more you practice, the stronger your embouchure will become, and endurance will come with strength.
