Hello,
I think this person wants to improve their intonation. The best thing that I've done is to play my clarinet with someone else looking at the tuner and "mapping out" my natural intonation tendencies. Anytime you look at a tuner, you will compensate and try to play in tune. Then, I have a great repairman adjust the intonation, so that every note naturally plays in tune. Then, of course, you have to adjust every note while you are playing to be in tune with whomever you are playing with. My saying is "have the confidence to know that before you play the note, you will be in tune, then once the note is played and if it's out of tune, assume it is you, then fix it [hopefully everyone else in your group is doing the same thing!!!]". Early in my learning, I bought "The Tuning CD" which was great, in my opinion. Good luck!
