To sign 'clarinet', position both hands in front of your chest as if holding the instrument vertically. Place one hand higher than the other, with your palms facing inward. Wiggle your fingers up and down continuously to mimic the action of pressing the keys on a clarinet.
To sign this, point to yourself for 'I', then use the 'clarinet' sign, and finish with the sign for 'play'.
Sign 'clarinet', then tap or point to your ear for 'sound', and finish with the sign for 'beautiful' sweeping across your face.
Point to the person for 'she', use the sign for 'learn' by bringing imaginary information from your palm to your forehead, and then sign 'clarinet'.

The key difference is the position of your hands. For 'clarinet', your hands are held vertically in front of your chest. For 'flute', your hands are held horizontally out to one side.
No, it doesn't strictly matter. You can place whichever hand feels most comfortable on top, just as musicians have their own preferences when holding the actual instrument.
While not strictly required, it is very common to slightly purse your lips as if blowing into the instrument. This adds a natural, descriptive element to your signing.
