First thing you must do is make sure your fundamentals are well in place. There are no shortcuts in this endevor. Herbert L Clarke's technical studys are a great place to start. Take these studys and really focus on your quiet playing. When I got a Lesson with Wayne Bergeron, he told me that he couldn't play soft very well, so he talked with the great Malcom Mcnab and he said that he keeps his apeture the size of a pin hole and keeps it very focused. I also took a lesson with Roger Ingram, I have been playing for twenty years and have never been a great high note player, he walked me through the "wedge" breathing and he had me slur octaves but very quietly and without concern of tone. I played to a g# above high C doing this, and he told me from squeeks come notes. have patience...if you want to send me a PM I can talk to you more indepth about some different things to try. By the way within four months of using roger ingrams method, I was playing double c's and my high F'f and G's got more full sound wise. Godd luck and hope to hear from you!
