Jacqueline,
It's a really bad idea to let someone else play your reed and mouthpiece.
There will always be anecdotal "evidence" of how it wasn't harmful and XXX lived to be 110, etc., plus explanations of how the probability of infection is "only .03%", etc., but.... if you get herpes or worse as a result you will be 100% affected.
A way around this might be to rotate the mouthpiece 180 degrees so that you can blow while the teacher fingers the notes, to diagnose a problem with mouthpiece/reed/embouchure.
Regards,
Hans
