One thing one of my director advises to trumpets when playing high notes, is to "tighten your gludious maximus(sp)" sounds funny but my friend whos first chair, said it really works lol..
Also, Get him to relax, when most people try to play high they tighten up more then normal and throats close up some. If you can get him to relax they will come out much easier. Will prolly shock them as well :-p
