I started on clarinet and progressively learned all of the woodwind instruments by the time I reached sophomore year in college. The biggest change from clarinet to oboe is embouchure. I struggled with getting oboe and bassoon pitch right until another teacher pointed out that if I change my embouchure it can help immensely. You can use a "smile" embouchure that is used on clarinet and flute, but if you change it to one like you are sucking on a straw, the pitch comes up instantly. Hope this helps.
