The b flat soprano Clarinet (the most popular) is a transposing instrument, however, the A clarinet, is technically referred to as a harmony instrument, if its not playing a solo

Reference: my clarinet teacher is a university professor on the clarinet, and the former principal clarinetist of the symphony orchestra which toured Russia and The Ukraine, Belrussia, Latvia, Litva, Estonia, Hong Kong and Thailand and in many other Asian countries
