Hi! I just bought my clarinet and I would really appreciate if you guys gave me the basic to playnh the clarinet...what should i do with the reeds, etc etc etc, stuff like that, stuff that would help a begginer getting started, ok?

thanks a lot really

I'd suggest buying one of the learn to play clarinet dvds
or a clarinet book that comes with dvd.

They take you through step by step assembling the clarinet, putting the reed on, playing your first note etc.

Like this one on ebay

Man, I just spent 200 dollars on that clarinet, I have no more money to spend. I need YOU to help me out

Sorry, but without a teacher, you won't get far. A book, A DVD, or a real, human teacher.

You need at least one beginners book.

I hope you brought some new reeds to go with the clarinet.
1.5 is pretty easy to start with depending on brand of reed

but do not leave a reed on once finished playing.

Don't try and play for to long when starting off.
start with 15 minutes , then build up to an hour a day.

Also I noticed your trying to learn lots of different instruments at the same time.
piano, flute/fife , violin, singing, clarinet

You need to stick to one instrument, learn the basics really well then think about if you want to stick with it or learn another.

If you try and learn too many instruments at the same time, you won't learn any of them properly
The old saying
Jack of all trades , master of none comes to mind

Instead of buying lots of different instruments, stick with what you have
and use the money to get lessons or extra lessons to help you improve.

I just need you to tell me how to place my fingers and a fingering chart. I´ll do the rest, ok?

Fingering chart - www.wfg.woodwind.org/clarinet/cl_bas_1.html

This is the lower register part of the fingering chart, it can be printed out.

But eventually, you will need a teacher. A DVD or beginner's book can only take you so far. There are many things to learn such as articulation, tounge placement, proper air support, etc.

The sooner you find a teacher, the less time you will spend fixing bad habits (like biting).

Ok, I´ll get a teacher. Just help me... how should i blow or what so sound comes out when i blow? please give me tips on this

I have seen lots of videos and read a lot of tips to get sounds on the clarinet. i cant, please help me

Ok, thanks. Tomorrow morning I will go to a music school to see how much are the clarinet classes

Yes, teachers are my only recommendation. And by the way, if you wish getting more serious on the clarinet, i suggest you buy something more than a 200 dollar clarinet. Do you have a brand and serial number?

It is a "First Act" clarinet, really good brand for students, like me (www.firstact.com), i really think it is a good clarinet.

Here, the site with the "technical" stuff about my clarinet:
http://shop.firstact.com/PublicStore/product/Clarinet,535,105.aspx

Its not the best clarinet of the world, but its ideal for a student like me, and for a begginer too, like me

Where did you buy your clarinet?

first act instruments have a fairly sketchy reputation.

as in, i've never heard anything good about them.
