Before I began practice today I let my reed sit in a cup of water for a little while. I was hoping it would make a difference in my rehearsal time, but it was about the same as if I had held it in my mouth.
I did a little research on playing in higher octave but with the same finger positions. As it turns out, that’s what the funny button on the back is for (the one I have apparently been ignoring this entire time). I found this video that helped to explain it very clearly.
Especially after today (now that I have discovered the secret to these high notes), I feel like I am picking up on this clarinet thing fairly quickly! I am starting to feel really confident about these skills! – But that could just be ignorance talking.
