I have searched the internet for a straight forward answer on how long it takes to be able to hit higher notes on trumpet and no one seems to be able to answer that. I have only been playing for about 3 months and I can hit the A above middle C. Sometimes I can hit the B and C above middle C but not very often or with any consistency. I know to play long notes and practice alot and do lip slurs and play on just the mouthpiece etc... I just want a ballpark figure on approximately how long it will take (with lots of practice of course) before I will be able to at least play the whole staff (up to the E or F at the top of the staff). Just to have some sort of frame of reference, a year, 6 months, 2 years, whatever! Can someone give me a best or worst case scenario? I'm not impatient, just curious. Thanks

Using a proper technique or routine designed for adding range, you should be able to add one half step to your range each week.

Thanks, that's actually helpful!

it completely depends on you and how much you practice. people are different, so you cant put a set date on when you'll hit your fist high G
