I'm wanting to order some mouthpieces for beginner clarinets and wanted some recommendations as I'm not too familiar with clarinet.

If you have the money to spend invest in Vandoren 5RVLyre.

The cheapest solid general mouthpiece is the Fobes Debut. They're reasonably priced and consistent. If you want to get a step-up mouthpiece, I personally like the Vandoren M13s for beginners through 8th grade.
