Altissimo E advice for student

Author: Andrez444

I teach a competent student who only recently has started to have issues with his top E, both in scale passages and wider intervals.

I have checked out his instrument, playing it on several occasions and it seems fine, with no sign of any additional resistance for this note to speak.

Additionally I have had the student blow through the instrument, having rotated the mouthpiece so I can finger the notes myself as he plays. This also seems to work for him, with the notes speaking well.

I would welcome any suggestions anyone may have to further assess what is happening, and possible approaches moving forwards.

Thanks in advance.
