I know it's tough, but you can't push the horn towards your mouth to hit those high notes. Instead, you need to increase the flow of air a lot.

An idea to prevent yourself from shoving the horn into your mouth is to lift it off your lap--use the hand in the bell to support it. When you hold your instrument in this way, it becomes nearly impossible for your left arm to smash the mouthpiece into your lips.

Happy playing!

exercise them.

Do lip ups!

you cant
