I am finally able to practice again! I was so happy to pull my clarinet out for the first time in so long! After everything I have experienced I feel this deep connection with Larry the Cucumber when his lip got caught in that gate.
The very first thing I did today (after showering) was sterilize my reed. I don’t want to risk getting another cold sore! So I just let it sit in a cup of hydrogen peroxide for a few minutes.

I accomplished so much at practice today! I was leery I had forgotten a few things over my little …vacation, but I was able to pick up right where I had left off! I played Mary Had a Little Lamb in 2 keys then I was able to learn a bunch of new notes. I even found a few buttons I didn’t even know existed! I suppose I’m still exploring my instrument.
I feel like I learned so much today on the clarinet. I started wondering if the same knowledge could be transferred to the Recorder. It is, after all an instrument of a similar concept.
So... now I know: 1) No, the knowledge is not transferable. 2) The Recorder is dumb.
