First clarinet
(Let me start by saying I am 13 and have 3 yearsnow of music experience So I got this clarinet from a family member (free and it’s a Leblanc concerto) because they heard I wanted to learn clarinet and I need to know how to take care of it kinda. Rn I’m kinda stuck on how to oil the bore (I looked it over and didn’t see any cracks, I didn’t know I couldn’t play without oiling the bore) because it’s been sitting in the case for 10 years. The person who gave it to me taught me the basics (embouchure,some fingers,to be very careful around the keys when putting together, and to not practice for very long, I’ve been practicing in 15 minute sessions twice a day but also the bore wasn’t oiled when I got it thankfully it’s not cracked) the mouthpiece with it is a woodwind company k10m (the tooth marks are mine before I used it the first time I wiped it with an alcohol wipe) and I’m gonna be getting a Forbes debut mouthpiece this weekend but pretty much I just need tips on starting to learn (I’ve already learned ode to joy) and maintain it right.
