Tips for playing F5
Same fingering as F4, one octave higher. Use faster, more focused air and aim it slightly higher. F is a fork fingering: right index and ring fingers down, right middle finger up.
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.
