Karl, I'm sure the way you describe this process to students is fine but I have heard some teachers confuse the issue by separating the speed and volume of air as though they were independent. It wasn't too long ago that I heard the following suggestion from a teacher in a masterclass. "When you play this pp note I want you play it with fast air like you are playing Forte". The instructor was trying to employ the garden hose analogy but was confused as to how it applied here. (It doesn't apply). When clarinetists play PPP they all use slow air speed or less volume of air. What is different among clarinetists is how they achieve this slow air/low volume of air.
