There are many ways to play the clarinet. In the American & French schools of playing, keeping "all of the tongue low and flat" is definitely "incorrect".
The back of the tongue is high, as when you say "EEEEEE", and remains up at all times -- sometimes just EEEEE, sometimes high and forward EWWWWW, or whatever your tongue needs to do within your oral cavity to maintain a focused, ringing, sound (which is accomplished by pressurizing the airstream before it enters the mpc because the tongue is high).. This is called "voicing", and voicing cannot be done if the tongue is "low and flat".
Just my 2 cents.
