Some of these threads might be a little old, but clarinets (in general) have not changed much. Model names change, some minor improvements here or there, but in general, the methods/suggestions for buying a clarinet in these threads and places will still apply. In the past ten years there have been some new makers and models of clarinets suitable for beginners out there. The FORTE clarinet, RIDENOUR clarinet, veryrecently the leblanc BLISS clarinet, things like that. But overall, read over these, and do a search on this bulletin board for "beginner clarinet" or something similar and it should give you some stuff to read through.
If you have questions about particular clarinets, please give the people on the board more detailed information if you can. Make and model of clarinet, price, condition, budget, what's it come with, etc. etc. I can't help you as I have NO experience with beginners or teaching, but many on this board have and hopefully you'll get some good responses.
