I have to get to a high Bb in less than a month for a festival so I'll definitely be using this.

Thanks for the videos Scott great content! Have been adding some of your exercises to my daily routine, and they are a great addition.

I'm struggling at getting anything above an F so this really helped thank you.

[arizonagreenbee]

reckon this'll be helpful for euph, thanks :]

[kerrycoleman]

this is really good! i’ll definitely try this. i can’t really play above an A so this will be interesting to try.

This is honestly going to help me build up the courage to play my high note music I'm front of people because now I'll know how to do it

[ButterOps]

Now I just need to figure out my major arpeggios

Considering my solo for this year has a jump to a high B natural from D on the staff this will be helpful

[teatrolites]

I’m gonna have to try this strategy! Thanks for the tip!

[Firefly]

Thank you so much. I just got into my school’s highest band coming into Sophomore year but I feel like my high range is underdeveloped but I didn’t really know any good ways to stretch it other than try and fail to hit a high G.

The Maggio method is very similar to this, very effective!

Man I have all the range in the world but I struggle to play super fast. I can easily hut the F below bass clef all the way to the d above treble but then 16ths get me in most pieces

My teacher always tells me: „if you wanns have a good high range, go practice the low range“:)

“Start in a comfortable range”
The comfortable range being too high for me (a semi-beginner):

[geopaxo]

do you have any advice on how to not make high notes sound squeezed and natural?

[Anonymous-khvu]

Do you play mellophone? I’ve been having a hard time reaching for the high A flat 😢

[DuckManAH]

Yo less go I wanna play it's been a long long time
