I want to say, as someone who DID NOT use a written technique (I did the standard pound it out for hours and hours on the horn) that this idea has really caught my attention. I believe this was suggested by Tony Pay some months ago. What I have found for myself more recently is that actively engaging the analytical brain is indeed a more solid way to (at very least reinforce) learning the clarinet.

Also any form of practice where you challenge yourself to examine the music academically encourages a more lasting and meaningful learning experience. For example there is an "EarSpasm" video where Michael Lowenstern describes a technique where you just change the emphasis of each note of a sixteenth note run by one sixteenth (then the next; then the next). The idea there is that DE-EMPHASIZING the natural rhythmic emphasis will allow your brain to play the full run of notes more smoothly, evenly.

Stuff like that.
