There are fingering charts on this site. You can go to http://ksks.essortment.com/clarinetsplayin_riro.htm but I think the best way to learn is to spend some quality time with your instrument and a good teacher.

Lennart -

I'm with Sarah on this.

You can learn, say, music theory with a computerized study program, but you can't learn to play clarinet from a video or a computer, any more than you could learn to do gymnastics without actually going out and doing it.

A method book and a scale book, plus a metronome -- that's about as automated as it gets, with maybe a tuner and a tape recorder.

There's no computer that can see or hear what you're doing or help you get the feel of how to play the clarinet. You need one-on-one or small group instruction.

Best regards. Keep practicing.

I agree with the above. I have been experimenting with turning midi files into piano accompaniments, which help me with timing. The expression ain't great, but neither is that of a metronome.
