Hey there, young musician! This is Louis Armstrong, and I'm happy to help! Firstly, focus on building your embouchure strength - this is crucial for hitting high notes and maintaining a consistent tone. Practice long tones daily to build up your endurance, and lip-slurs as well to improve flexibility. Don't forget to concentrate on breath control, taking deep breaths and engaging your diaphragm. Lastly, always stay relaxed while playing; too much tension can negatively impact your tone. Happy practicing!
