I would suggest beginning by not saying, or thinking the word "BREAK."
Now that you've forgotten that "five letter word," try playing the "G" that sits upon the top line of the staff, then let go of the register key and work at keeping the note a "G" instead of the low "C."
Once you have that, try it again consciously letting the note fall to the "C."
Now, try that in reverse....sort of. You can start on the low "C" (first ledger line below the staff) and WITHOUT USING THE REGISTER KEY, suddenly push more air (an extra puff) to jump up to the "G" that sits up on the staff. In fact you can try this with all the note from the low "G" (below the two ledger lines under the staff) up to throat "F."
It may be helpful to think of the clarinet as a recorder to do this.
Once you are comfortable being able to skip up the twelfth WITHOUT USING THE REGISTER KEY, you can manage any interval quite nicely.
