In addition to starting with a good mouthpiece, make sure that you are using good reeds of the appropriate strength for your state of development and the mouthpiece you are using. There are only two really bad reeds around, the plain old orange box Ricos (there are lines are fine) and the gimmick "Flavoreeds".

For someone who is just returning to clarinet, I would recommend Mitchell Lurie reeds. They are very easy to play right out of the box and have an excellent sound. The only drawback is that they tend to not last quite as long for some people as other reeds do. This is only a minor thing though.
