 Clarinet beginner question - can't get a good sound
Author: Matarkrv

Hello, I have recently rented a Clarinet so I could start learning it, I don't have a teacher as they are very expensive thus I cannot afford lessons. When using only the mouthpiece and barrel I get a very squawky sound (kind of like a duck), I made sure that my embochure was correct (lips covering lower teeth, upper teeth bite and seal the holes ion the sides with my lips), I tried putting the mouthpiece in my mouth in many different positions (all of them made the same sound). When I try making a sound on the clarinet I get a much better sounds but it is a very fuzzy one (resembles a Saxophone), I tried cleaning it multiple times as I heard spit makes this sound but after a few seconds the sound returned. Does anyone has insight to this problem?
Thank you for reading and have a great day
