Re: High Note Trouble

There is the possibility that the reed strength you presently use is a bit too mushy for you, however, I like to point out that using a bit more air and a bit more "energy" in your embouchure is usually necessary to get higher notes to speak properly. One indicator would be if you watch the pitch of the notes on your tuner (or tuner app) and find that the notes tend to get a little flatter each note as you move up. That would definitely tell you that more support (air and embouchure) is required.
