I`ve been playing for 16 years now, just recently getting my performance degree from SJSU. I could play up to high G last year, but only after I started listening to other people`s suggestions did i increase my range further. Maybe it`ll help to tell you that I have range from low G (3ВЅ lines below the staff) all the way up to high D/E (5 to 5ВЅ lines above the staff). It might take some time, but keep on practicing. But be sure not to use too much pressure on the mouthpiece and practice playing higher notes a lot, but not too much or you`ll wear yourself out. You aren`t going to get higher range by only playing low notes. Just warm up to the point where you feel best. As I understand, a lot of professionals spend about a half hour to an hour warming up before they begin playing anything. When you`ve warmed enough, start playing higher notes. I always start off playing more low notes before i even do that.

Although you probably don`t want to get advice from someone younger than you, I usually start off playing a low Bb, then up to F, Bb, D, then F. Vary the speed and dynamics of your warm-up as another way of mixing up your routine.Well I`ve been playing for 3 years since 6th grade. Progress faster and louder only when you can play each exercise from a very relaxed stance. Begin slowly and at a relaxed, medium dynamic level. No dynamics or tempi have been assigned to the exercises in this book.

Whatever works best for you is fine, but be sure to play through the entire register of the trumpet during your warm-up. While this arrangement works well for many players, you may find that you respond more readily to a different progression. Within these sections, the exercises begin in the middle register, move to the low register, and finish in the high register while connecting back to the low register. Practical Daily Warm-Ups for Trumpet is divided into 9 main sections: mouthpiece buzzing, first exercises, scales, arpeggios, lip-slurs, single and double tonguing, triple tonguing, long patterns, and pedal tones.
