Wow. I'm glad this topic got bumped so I could read it. My ocarina is really, really old, and the high F just goes away sometimes. I wasn't sure whether this technique would work for me or not, but it appears to be working wonderfully. Now I can actually play songs up in my higher range without having them sound like crap.

I can kind of get it, I'm probably not doing right though. I'll keep working on it!

I do not know if this can be used for the songbird ocarina but the highest notes are always squeaky. If I blow too gently, nothing comes out. If I blow too hard, it makes a squeak.

I tried tilting the ocarina upwards whenever I make a high note and it seems to work.
