well to us young people in highschool bands playing high is like our all time goal. but i worked on my long tones articulation. swells scales and lip slur for about two years. i made all state band in all of my fours years off highschool and with all taht work i juss played a song and took it up right in band class. and now that i switched to a 14a4a i can hit an hold the super c for a full eight counts with a full brassy but warm tone where it can be heard acroos the field and down the street and cut threw the band.

I myself can scream sometimes but i have a raggedy beginning trumpet and an old, no brand name mouthpiece. if you want to make money on trumpet tone is definitely most important, but it is fun to play high D`s at the football games

Look i am 13 and can play high Bb for 9 counts. I worked on range for 2 years and then took 1 year for other more important stuff. It takes a while for range and kids who screach out a note and look like they are about to have an anuerism is not high range. If you cant get range work on articulation, style, and tone quality. THose will get you first chair. And on your free time go ahead and learn some cool tricks. I can play a good horse whiney and played at the end of jingle bells once it sounded cool. Remeber range isnt everything.

Trumpet playing is not based on how high you can play. There are some freshman screamers at my school, but theyre in the freshman band bcuz theyre sound isnt developed and they cant read well. I can Barely hit an A a lil above the staff, but im the second chair in the highest band. If you`re in marching band, its a little better because you want to have the people hear you. You still have to get the rhythms right.
grr stupid freshman.

I get what you`re saying. I`m a 14 year-old freshman trumpet player and I personally find high notes unimportant compared to your musical vocab. I am considered good in my school because I play pieces like The Hummel, Concert Etude, and The Hayden.....not because of the notes I can hit

playing the trumpet isnt about the high notes. if u can play all the write notes and articulation and dynamics ur good to go

To be a great trumpet player u need the whole package (not just wayne bergeron and mark zauss stuff) !!! otherwise some people will always b better then you at something. Im 9th grade and i CAN play a high "g" for as many counts as i can hold any note. Playing high notes is great to show off with but making first chair all county and making all state is what WILL get you 2 the superbowl...

yeah its all fine saying its not just about the high notes and stuff......but everyone says that and then they forget and are just like "i wana play high!" i teach students and i try my hardest to nail it into them that high notes are not the most important thing but they only ever listen to maynard, jon faddis, cat anderson.........
its just annoying.

Im a keen jazz player. can anyone give me some advise on the best way i can get to those screamers?

yes
I also agree it is to hard to get to the high notes but it is getting easyer sooo yeah but this week i have try outs and i hope i do good

im a freshmen and im already hitting triple G`s and triple A`s, and i just wanted to say ots all about the high notes

not possible to get triple Gs or A`s...........maybe double?! but you lie!

you got it dudes high notes are where it is at, the higher that you can play the better you are.
Low notes stink, they are for geeks.
Are you a trumpet man or a trumpet geek.
Real men play high notes like Schmidt.
