    Change your reed. See if that works. If not, maybe you need a thicker one?

    this could be a number a things. it could be that your reed is too soft. you could try using a harder reed. or if your embouchure (mouth) is pinching the reed too hard, that could do it as well. relax just a little bit. also make sure you don’t have too much mouthpiece in your mouth.

    do you know any clarinet teachers? they can also help you diagnose the problem.

    good luck! =)
