You need to know the proper embouchure, fingerings, and of course, how to read music. If you do not know the embouchure, then consult your band director. If you do not know fingerings, you can find fingering charts on the internet. If you cannot read music, get out of band unless you are just beginning.

Is clarinet a jazz instrument?

As far as I know, I haven't seen a single clarinet in a jazz band (sure in a marching band, but not in jazz). My friends who play clarinet are also in the jazz band, but intead of playing their clarinets, their switch/use saxophones instead. So, no, I don't think clarinet is a jazz instrument.
