Study plan for a beginner

Hello everyone!

I've been learning clarinet for about 4 weeks and I'm loving it so far! I'm following the Rubank method and practising everyday for about 1h30. I don't want to play professionaly, just as a hobbyist, but I want to be good at it.

Currently I'm doing long tones and the Rubank method (I'm going forward as I'm feeling confident in the exercises) and as far as I can tell, everything is going well. What I am here to ask is what else I could do besides long tones and Rubank? I'll begin clarinet lessons with a private teacher in about 2 weeks, but until there, I don't know if is something else I could be practising.
I don't have yet a plan, I just do 20 to 30 minutes of long tones and breathing exercises and then I go to Rubank and play it until I get tired or have to do something else. As for actual repertoire, is there something easy I can try? I'm playing from low E to Bb (above the break). As for crossing the break, is there a right moment to practice it? Is it something I should forget for now?

Thanks in advance!
