Re: piercing high notes

I have had trouble with this as well...I think alot of it has to do with where I'm voicing the note in my throat. Try "thinking" the note is lower. Alot of times, mine squeak out because I'm trying too hard and have in fact voiced them too high in my throat giving either the next partial or a squealy sound. If you mentally bring it down, it could work. I also really liked what Alexi said about "bringing it out of the reed." This also works when some one plays a mallet instrument...instead of beating the crap out of it, lift the note out of it with the mallet...the same goes for the tongue.

Hope that helps!
Heidi
