Believe your instructor - she's right. What you hear is a mishmash of sounds that are part carried by the air, and part carried through your bones.
But - if you don't believe your instructor, who can hear you play, why would you believe any of us, who can't hear you play? Have you had a good recording made?
If you're attending Michigan State or University of Michigan, then you have access to some of the finest teachers anywhere. The clarinet profs at Eastern and Western are no slouches, either, along with the teachers at Wayne State. The other college/university Music programs might be fine, too, I just don't happen to have any info on them.
