<<<Yes, of course, the real solution is to fix the clarinet method
classes=20
(all the more reason to be able to explain cause and effect, I should=20
add!). But this teacher is now out in the real world and I get one hour
to explain cause and effect in relationship to diagnosing common
clarinet tone production problems.>>>

A university is a part of the "real world." Yes, it can be argued that
music education students need more knowledge and information about the
clarinet than the typical woodwind techniques class can give them. They
also need more exposure to the flute, oboe, bassoon, saxophone, trumpet,
horn, trombone, tuba, percussion, violin, cello, human voice, etc., etc.

As you outlined the problem above, I can't think of a single clarinetist
in the entire world who can "explain cause and effect in relationship to
diagnosing common clarinet tone production problems," and to do so in
one hour.

What exactly is it the situation you are describing in which you have
one hour to solve all the clarinet problems of the world?
