FWIW I did my first clarinet squeaks before I had a teacher. I bought a book. It taught me some about the embouchure, about breathing, about basic fingering. I was able to play simple folk tunes within a week or two. (I recorded an .mp3 these days, it sounds horrible today ;) )

I chose to take a teacher for two reasons: regular class requires regular practicing. And I didn't want to develop "bad manners" that would later be more difficult to get rid of.
