On the baritone, how do i play the highest F?

Question

I have a triplet that goes e-f-e they are all really high and when i try to get up that high all i hear is the air passing thorugh the bell and no tone at all!

how do i play the triplet and keep it in tune??

Answer 1

Keep the breath support up and keep your lips buzzing, that's probably why you're losing it. This isn't really all that high - your horn will go much higher.

in treble clef - e-f-e will be open first open (if it's fast then 1+2 1 1+2 will be cleaner)

in bass clef - e-f-e will be 2 - open - 2

make sure you're not playing on a mouthpiece that is too big for your embochure.
