Yes, ask him what you should practice beforehand. But he'll probably say to bring whatever you've been playing. I always want to hear what a new student can already do.

I don't think there's much that you shouldn't discuss if he brings it up. I wouldn't suggest deluging him with questions about equipment unless what he hears suggests that what you're using isn't working.

Once he hears you play, let him set the agenda as far as first steps are concerned. He may ask you what you hope to be able to accomplish with the clarinet (what sort of music, what kind of groups, etc.).

You should get an hour, whether you get it all gratis or have to pay for part (or all) of it. You need to get an idea of his teaching style (and if you're comfortable with it) as much as he needs to find out where your strengths and needs are.

Good luck with it.
