so, for choir I am playing my clarinet but the only sheet music they have is for voice. So, could some one please tell me how to change it so I can play it? Thanks!Question about changing voice music so I can use it with my clarinet?
Transpose the vocal music up the interval of one step (two half steps) to play it on clarinet. You will also need to change the key signature up one step also.
For example, the vocal note F would become G for the clarinet, vocal G would be clarinet A, A would be B and Bb would be clarinet C.
Likewise, if the key signature is F (1 flat) then the clarinet key would be G (1 sharp) , the vocal key of G (1 sharp) would become the key of A (3 sharps) for clarinet, and the vocal key of Bb (2 flats) would be the key of C (no sharps, no flats) for clarinet. Notes and key signatures are all transposed up a whole step.

You need to get some manuscript paper and transpose the music. I believe the clarinet is a B Flat instrument, so if the music is in the key of C, you have to transpose it to B Flat. Any other key, transpose down one full step (for example, F to E Flat).
Play the voice music one step (whole note) higher on your clarinet.
