I think when trumpet players get really red, veins pop out, etc, their squeeling. Someone told me that... ANYWAY,back to the topic, know I don't know how.

I think what you're trying to say is when you get those notes that are high enough that you don't even know what they are half of the time. One way you can do this is if you make a face where you keep your lips together but not tight and blow hard. Kinda hard to explain but if you've ever seen the movie "Daddy Day Care" Eddie Murphy makes the face to his son or something. Just to that into the trumpet. Tell me if it works for you. Works for me.

You learn to squeal (actually the term is "scream") the same way you do everything else on trumpet....PRACTICE, PRACTICE, PRACTICE. If you don't already have a good, strong, high register, I recommend not trying to scream unless you want to risk possible permanent muscle damage that could ruin your embouchure and end your trumpet playing days altogether. Unless you play lead in an advanced jazz ensemble you won't have any use for it anyway.

TRUMPET GEEK, whats scary is ur picture. That is VERY creepy. Anyways, my suggestion is to do long tones in ALL registers to increase ur range gradually as you ascend and it serves a dual purpose of improving your tone quality. Hope this helps. Email me for specific exercises if you're interested

Long tones in all registers and gradually increasing range and endurance are integral components of practice, practice, practice. Practice also includes proper breathing, proper posture, reading music correctly, and playing the dynamics as composed.

From what I have been taught, playing high register notes is all about the syllables you use.
Normally, you would be playing with a "tah" or "torh" syllable. The higher you play, the more distorted the syllable becomes. So you end up with with a "tee" or "tii" syllable for above middle stave C. Then for above the stave and beyond, the syllable becomes "tiich".
Hope this helps.

Work on lip slurs. Lots. I recomend the books, How Brass Players Do It and Charles Colins Advanced Lip Flexibilities. As you increase your upper register, you should also work on your low range by playing pedal notes. And don't overdo it.
