Tips for playing C6
High C uses the same fingering as C5: just your left middle finger. Use fast, focused air and bring your lips forward slightly.
Higher notes come from your air, not from squeezing the keys. Keep your fingers relaxed, blow a faster, narrower stream of air and check your tuning with a tuner or a piano.
