This may seem obvoius to you or me- but is she removing her reed from her
clarinet when she is done practicing?? Does she even play on more than one
reed?

The student may just have developed a rash from an unsanitary playing
practice. She may also need to wash out her mp (to remove the bacteria). A
trip to the doctor may also be necessary to clear up the infection.

You would be surprised to find out how many beginning students just don't
remove their reeds from their mp! I couldn't imagine leaving a reed on a mp
- but the mind of a 10 year old is not predectiable.

Hope this helps-
