Welcome, Mike!

Yes, anyone can learn to play. It does take patience though. You're not going to be sounding like a pro within a few short weeks...It does require at least a small amount of practice every day to keep things from feeling foreign to you each time you play.

The suggestions provided by Late_Returner and Ken above are great...especially about having your teacher try your equipment to make sure it doesn't hold you back or create problems for you.

One very important thing to know (when playing hymns with the piano, accordion, or other non-Bb instruments)...you'll need a Bb/transposed music to read from (or you'll need to learn to transpose.) It will be a while before you're ready for that...but just remember that when you're ready to play with non-Bb instruments, that you can't read directly from the same music the non-Bb instrument is playing from.

Glad to hear you chose the clarinet. It is a beautiful instrument and loads of fun to play!
