Make sure to balance your high playing with low playing and take a break! Remember that getting better at the trumpet means your muscles in your emboucher are being built up!.!.!. like any muscle, it needs time to repair itself and grow!.
Make sure you are warming up properly!.!.!. you should never start by playing high!. Start on a g (second line) and just play the note for one second then take the instrument off of your lips!. go through chromatically up one then down one so your balancing high and low!.
also and this is a big one!.!.!. MAKE SURE YOU WARM DOWN!!! Warming down is like stretching after a long run!.!.!. you better do it or you're not going to improve and more importantly!.!.!. you're going to be in pain!. After a practice session play low and soft lips slurs going down go from Second line g down to C, then F# to B, then F to Bb etc!.!.!.

Do you mean triple-high C, nine ledger lines above the staff!? Dude, only dogs can hear you play that high!. I would have killed for that kind of range!. Anyway, most Jazz greats, like Miles, weren't screamers!. Sorry not to offer the help you were looking for, but really, congratulations on the range you have!.Www@Enter-QA@Com
