RE: Mouthpieces

Melissa --

Lots of good advice here on what is (as JMcA points out) a very complex subject.

A couple of small additions:

When you try out mouthpieces, if you are using a metal ligature you may want to put tape or a thin mouthpiece patch on the mouthpiece where the ligature touches it (the "audience" side of the mouthpiece) so that you don't mar the mouthpiece.

I believe the book Mr. McAulay is refering to is "The Art of Clarinet Playing" by Keith Stein. Before you buy it, you could check with your local library. If it's not in your branch, they may be able to get it for you from another one in their system.
