Tips for playing B5
Same fingering as B4, one octave higher. Use faster, more focused air and aim it slightly higher. Left thumb and left index finger only. Keep the other fingers curved and ready.
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.
