The air column is the flow of air coming from your lungs and going all the way to the clarinet’s bell. To help achieve this, your intake of air must be deep, and you should aim to exhale from the very bottom of your lungs. Your airflow must also be as stable as possible.
The air should simply travel through the clarinet, which is why you should not clench the mouthpiece and reed!
Once you're ready, it's time to blow air into the mouthpiece! Relax your shoulders, take a deep breath, and, while keeping your embouchure stable, blow. Once the latter is secured in place (careful not to squeeze), close your upper lip around it, to create a good seal. Then, the top teeth are placed on the beak of the mouthpiece. The most common embouchure technique is called the single-lip: the reed is placed on the lower lip, which covers the teeth. The term embouchure refers to the way the musician positions their mouth in an optimal way around the mouthpiece to get a stable and full sound. The clarinet is a wind instrument, which means one has to blow through the mouthpiece to produce a sound.
