Deborah,
There is actually a book about this (the altissimo fingering part) which I
have available for sale. You can read the details on my web site at
http://www.lvnv.com/vcis/

The book is The Altissimo Register: A Partial Approach by Paul Drushler.

Subject: Harmonic Overtone series

Can someone explain the harmonic overtone series to me in regards to the
clarinet? I was reading in my music dictionary that the clarinet
produces only the alternate overtones in the series. I am not sure that
I understand how the overtone series is constructed. Is there a
pattern, or do I just need to memorize the notes?
How can this help me with alternate fingerings in the altissimo
register in particular?
Any thoughts on this would be greatly appreciated.
Deborah
