> I'm a new clarinetist and just wondering if you have any tips.
You blow into the pointy end of the instrument.
Welcome MannMan. If you have specific questions, we might have specific answers.
Whatever you do - have fun with the clarinet. It's an instrument of joy, not of torment.

First and most important tip: Get a decent teacher. All else grows from that.

I think Ben had it right, "Whatever you do - have fun with the clarinet. It's an instrument of joy, not of torment."

Take lessons and practice, it's a great instrument once you can play it. And once you're a good player there's the joy of finding a good reed but that comes much later. ESP http://eddiesclarinet.com
