I would recommend that your teacher be the one to turn to for this information. If you do not have a teacher, GO GET ONE. If you approach the high register by straining and pushing, you will only set yourself back and develop poor playing habits. Too often I have had to take students through some big changes to get them back to playing correctly after they tried it themselves or a band director who is not a player recommended a method that is not beneficial to the player. Good studies only support good teaching.
Get a good teacher and pay attention to what he says.
