does this mean that when the clarinet plays a C it sounds like a Bflat, or when it plays a Bflat it sounds like a C?

when a clarinet plays a C, it sounds like a Bb on the piano.

eg So tuning in a band, on concert Bb, you have to play C on a clarinet.

That right? You;ve got me paranoid now!

Aah ok thanks for clearing that up! See, that's what it said in my theory book, but I was sure my music teacher told me it was the other way around! I must've misheard her :)

Yes, it means that when you play the written note(hence the fingered note) for C the sounding note will result in a concert pitch Bb. All correct.

For the written note(fingered note if you wish) Bb to sound a concert C, the instrument would be tuned in D, thus resulting that all written notes(fingered notes) to sound a major second higher than written. So this one is not correct.
