How do i hit high note softly on the oboe?

Question:Hitting a high note softly on any wind instrument is a difficult task. It takes a lot of breath support, air control, and most importantly a lot of practice. My suggestion to you is to play the line you're working on and each time gradually find the dynamic level you're looking for. Remember not to sacrifice tone quality for dynamic level. If you director tells you you're still playing too loud, then that simply means you need to keep working on it.
