You are here / General / Is BE a high note method?
Absolutely not. It is a developmental method for all aspects of trumpet playing. Flexibility, tone quality, endurance, tonguing and of course range will improve. There are a lot of people who increase their range considerably, but that is not the main goal. The main goal is an efficiently operating embouchure.
