High notes w/ good sound

Post by PiccoloTrombonist1 »

In a piece i am playing, i need to play notes that are in the high end of my register (high F4 and G4). Although I can play these notes while avoiding double buzz and other problems i normally face with notes at the high end of my range, they come out with horrible sound. As this piece is a solo, i need to be able to play the high notes without them sounding like im trying to blow my lungs into my trombone. Does anyone have any tips on how to do this, and achieve a similar spund to my other notes that i can play more comfortably?

Sorry, i couldnt get the recording to work (my phone picks up audio horribly) but if i were to describe the sound, it would be really nasaly, and almost as if there is extra spit in my mouthpiece when there isnt.

Put your phone farther away and try again.
