Yes but: does your teacher play sharp like you do on the same reeds? If so, really, stop fiddling with your reeds and go ask for instruction on how to play to pitch. It will save you an immense amount of time, and probably have a positive effect on your tone also. BTW a drone is a pitch played in the background that keeps sounding and you can play intervals with it. It's not something you go back and forth with. If you have an electronic keyboard with an organ setting, you can put something on the key that is the tonic you want to play against, holding the key down so the note keeps sounding ("drone"), and then play intervals with it listening for beats. If you don't know how to listen for beats, one more thing to ask for instruction on. No one without a very high level of experience and a well-trained ear can nail a pitch out of nowhere, without having a trained embouchure and a trained ear, to know what to go for.
