TYO: THANK YOU for starting this thread.... holy cow there's good stuff here! All contributors gave really good advice.
Reed exercises, take the reed out of the oboe, also help because it works on the muscular dynamics of the face and gut. So:
1. holding your reed just enough so it won't fall, blow hard and pull in and push out with your lips
2. wah-wah-waaaaahhhh by opening and closing the lips
3. staccato without tongue (just start/stop blowing)
=> do these as loudly as you can: I have found that practicing reed exercises loudly actually helps me play softly more easily.
And it is also true that dynamics are not just about loudness, there is a character to them that you can get just by your mind-set. I don't know why, but the body seems to take care of the rest.
