I've never found a commercial reed labeled "soft " to be anything but flat and sound somewhat like a duck. Try medium soft, make reeds a bit short, keep tips of commercial reed nipped so that they are not too long and G and A octaves flat.
I also play duets and accompany my students on a properly tuned piano from the very beginning to train the ear to correct pitch. It sometimes take about four or five lessons to get them up to pitch but a student with a good ear will really try hard if they are playing a duet or accompanied. Sometimes students transferring from clarinet find it particularly hard. Also work on wind speed and support.
