I'm 4'11, when I started out weighed less than 90lbs and had asthma. I've been playing the trumpet and french horn now for fifteen years. It's very possible!
It's not about your size and lung capacity, but how much work and practice you put into it. All of the other stuff improves over time. As for hitting high notes, that comes with practice as well! Good luck and keep it up!

yes of course you can do it!! i dont think height has anything to do with it if you believe you can do it. just ask for help where you need it

its gunna b hard to get the high notes.. u should b though...
