For the last couple of Months ive played my Trumpet ive noticed that im finding it harder and harder to reach my high notes (Top G+) Can anyone help?

*I have been playing for 5 years and have never had any trouble its come on all of a sudden*

Every player has good and bad days, you may just be having a bad day, it happens.

Also, try to play with no tension, just relax and let the air flow. Try to think of yawning rather than blowing, if you blow too hard in the upper register you`ll just air out, or get a little weak squeak to come out. Always play with warm, fast moving air, but dont blow, support it with your abdominal muscles. The most important thing, though, is to just relax and don`t tense up at all. Just let it flow.
