 I tried to learn the clarinet when I was ten and eleven years old. I didn't do too well. I'm 26 now and would like to give it another try.  So far my cheeks hurt and it is sqeaking. I need some pointers and the ISBN number of a good beginners book. If someone could help I'd appreciate it.
 
 Thanks

 Just take it easy and don't worry too much about playing in the high register at first. Remember to take a break every so often while you're practicing.

 If you want to improve your clarinet playing you need to take your time.  Start off with the lower notes and work your way up.  Try playing the B flat scale in whole notes.  Work your way through the scales.  Then go on to half notes, quarter notes, 8th notes, and eventually 16th notes.
