High notes on Bass clarinet

In the Eccles Sonata for Bass Clarinet you have to play C6 and the B and A below that.

My daughter does fine when starting on A going up to C but cant even get the sound out when she has to hit C6 cold.

Should I try alternate fingerings?

I know her embochure is screwed up a little. She put too much bottom lip on the reed.....

its frustrating and nerve racking because she has competition this weekend, and can play the whole solo except thos certain passages.

Another passage is from C5 up to C6.....tough..

any ideas? Ive told her to play those high notes more like the embouchure of a regular Bb clarinet and that helped a little.
