    What do you mean holding beats? If it’s playing them, you just have to blow evenly and cut it off with tonguing (If you’ve learned it yet). Try counting the beat and clap it out so you can become familiar with it, learning should be easier with a book since it has everything you need to know about basic music reading and it will have fingering charts if it’s a clarinet book (you NEED a fingering chart) and you can easily relate A B C D E F G to fingerings and notes on a staff. This is a tutorial i found on google that shows you some basic stuff about reading music (clarinet is in the treble clef [G clef]) i hope you enjoy learning the clarinet.

    Practice makes perfect, practice holding beats by tapping your foot. As far as learning to read music, I would suggest a teacher or a book. Just keep in mind that this is a musical instrument and it’ll take practice and patience. Things won’t come over night. Best of luck to you.

    try a metronome to keep beats.

    I am a clarinetist and i have been playing for 6 years…and to “hold beats” you have to even out your air and if you run out of air sneak out of the music and sneak back in…if you are dealing with difficult rhythms take the music really slow and as your progress increase your speed slowly until you reach where you have to be..

    and if you go to google and type in “how to read sheet music” it should bring you something

    on the line from the very bottom is E, G, B, D, F
    ( ever good boy does fine)
    and on the space from bottom to top is F, A , C, E
    ( face)

    that may help with the notes
