Cornet

Hi everyone. I'm learning cornet for my high school senior project, but over the school year I haven't been very...diligent...with my practice. Frankly, I hated the whole process of learning it, and made excuses and practiced my clarinet instead. Good for my clarinet, not so much for my cornet.

I know many of you on here double on trumpet and others, so I was wondering if you had any advice for me. I can play from low G to third space C right now, but I can't seem to make the D above that C sound clear, or anything above that really come out without using a ton of pressure on the mouthpiece. Is there anything I can do besides practice for hours on end until my boards presentation at the end of May? And are there any special concerns I need to watch out for because I'm playing a brass and a reed instrument?

Thanks!
