high note

Singer's upper reach

A high note is a musical tone at the upper end of a singer's or instrument's range, often requiring skill to execute: She hit every high note in the aria.

Figuratively, to end on a high note is to conclude something positively or memorably: The team wanted to finish the season on a high note.
