Hiya, I've been learning clarinet. I've loved the sound of them since I found Floex like 12 years ago, and finally got round to practicing it.
As a beginner though, it is a cryptic and secretive device. I've gotten comfortable noodling around, but it felt like a labyrinth with many exits, and I found music lesson guides and finger charts unhelpful.
So I set about mapping the labyrinth myself, with the wonderful help of two musical friends, creating a resource on how to get started. I hope others new to clarinet will find it helpful.

Not bad, though the spacing seems odd at first. Why are the related pinky keys for F/C heavily outlined, unlike the other keys?

I thickly outlined notes that are played with two keys to make them distinct from the other notes in the scale.
Having them both indicated as important for the note helps me know that they do the same thing, even if only using one of them for a specific scale. When practicing scales, I use whichever key feels more comfortable.

Certainly if there's something that confuses you about the in-house and extremely comprehensive guide attached above: a working development of a fair number of contributors here over the years, do ask for help.
