Clarinet Practice May 27th

I went and bought 10 new good reeds the day before, so I had to try them out. I put one in water for about 4 hours before using it, and the other I just played after a minute of getting it wet. I didn't find that letting the reed soak in the water improved the sound or responsiveness of the clarinet. I played the other reed for about 10 minutes, reviewing the scales I learned in class. I memorise all my scales. I found I had all three of them pretty well down pat. Now I need to maybe touch up on them a bit so I won't get lost when playing them, and then I need to learn the two songs, and maybe I will even practice some sight-reading!
