A lot of young players do little things almost autonaumically (probably not spelled correctly) that hinders tone. What to do is to drop your tounge and aim that air down the stem of the mouthpiece, do your best to avoid body tension, and start your air *quickly. Now starting the air is the silver doughnut. It's what kills most attacks, esspecially in the upper register where tension is also a big factor.

I hope this helps.
