Every oboist must develop embouchure muscles. The only way to do that is to practice until your mouth is fully, utterly, and profoundly fatigued. Over time, your muscles will strengthen. It's an uncomfortable process but necessary.

Try the following to raise your pitch:
- Roll your bottom lip in more and put more reed into your mouth.
- Open your throat like you're yawning and blow harder.
- Open your teeth like you're about to take a big bite from an apple and blow harder.
