Help on playing low(er) notes

Author: crossaintclarin

I started playing the clarinet ~1 month ago and I can play open G pretty well. I can also play A, B, and (very!) occasionally C and D above open G. I can play F, E, and sometimes D below open G.

However, I'm having trouble playing a c and anything below that. I've heard that those are the easiest notes but I can't seem to make any sound. It's like something blocking the air and making it really squeaky - almost like the air is hitting a wall, if that makes sense. When I try to stop the squeaking, I have to reduce my air to the point where there's no sound coming out. how do i fix this? i brought my clarinet into a music shop but they said that there were no issues.
