    As a trumpet player. I believe there are some notes that no person can produce naturally. My highest note is the F above the 1st C above the staff (I'm only 14). But the instrument itself is made for an infinitive range of notes above and below the staff. It all depends on the strength of the player and there dedication to the instrument (Practice, Practice, Practice). My teacher said that "Repetition is the soul of education in academics and in music, never forget that.". That was when I was in 4th grade. Now in 8th grade, I am a better player by listening to his words and not giving up. Mr. W (My teacher) said that you should "Practice the hard things first and then when you feel good about your work on the hard things, you can do the easier things. Remember, there are no shortcuts to perfection.". A good way to build up muscle in your lip is, as every great trumpet player in history will tell you, PLAY YOUR LONG TONES!! Also the Carmen Caruso Magic 6 (Also known as the Carmine Caruso Method) works well to. It hears. But it works. Like weight lifting for your lips. A good book for practice is the Rubank's Elementary/ Intermediate Method books as well as A tune A Day Book 2
