 Re: Why start low?

Simple. Chalmeau register notes are easier to get out of the instrument. Then you learn to press the ring keys so that they are airtight. That to rule out that reason why the clarinet notes aren't coming. As soon as you get along reasonably well in the low register, you should start to play upper notes as long notes just making jumps there by pressing the register key. The same time you further improve your finger technique in the low register, start to use throat register keys, learn the proper way of using your left index finger on the A key, and, voilá, you are ready to start to practise the break.

Should happen in a couple of months. In stead of banging your head against a brick wall by trying to master the clarinet register first.
