Reminders: Play the challenging note by itself in several different

dymanics and lengths.

Start by just "huffing" the note (articuating with your airstream only)

to learn what the optimal airspeed is. Then add your tongue.

Spend a lot of time playing the high note as softly as possible.

If you can do this, the louder dymanics will be easier.

Keep the corners of your mouth actively rounded to reduce any

jaw, or "biting" pressure on the reed.
