For the past year I've been having problems keeping my high range
consistent. I can't ever guarantee that I'll be able to play high on a
day-to-day basis. My instructor, Dr. Casey, has given me some exercises to
try and people have suggested different things for me to do when I practice,
but nothing seems to work. I actually think my high range has gotten worse
since I started trying to work on it. When I try to put more air through my
horn for support, I slip down to the next lower partial than the one I'm on.
Last week we had spring break, so I took a few days off to see if it was
just that my embrochure was worn out, but I'm still in the same predicament.
I've tried playing as much as I can from 3rd space C and higher, but after
about a half hour I'm worthless on anything above that C for the rest of the
day. It's to the point where I just don't know what to do about it
anymore because I'm becoming more and more uncomfortable as I play with my
increasing unreliability in that register. Any advice and or ideas as to
what could be the problem would be wonderful. Thank you!
