You blow in it....

and press on the buttons to change pitch.

No, you don't, you curve your bottom lip over your bottom teeth so your bottom teeth do not touch the reed. Then you put your top teeth on top of the mouthpiece and blow.

To tounge, you tap your tounge on the reed whilst playing a note.
