William...that really depends on your definition of "adequate". If you're looking to play in the Chicago Symphony, you might be right. If you want to love music and have some fun playing the clarinet, I think you're wrong.
My son went to an engineering school. He now has a degree in engineering and worked like a madman to get that degree in 5 years. The school he went to doesn't have a music program, but they do have a Music Minor...where he could take lessons, play in some darn good ensembles, and take enough music classes to realize that he would have hated any more theory classes. For him, the music minor route worked out perfectly. He has his day job now, which pays pretty well...and he gets to enjoy music and play enough clarinet to stay involved with musicians (sometimes a pretty cool thing too).
Then again, my first clarinet teacher (and the best player I ever heard live) either had a double degree in Music and Math, or just the math degree. It didn't seem to slow him down at all.
