I am the author of Advanced Intonation Technique.
I agree with Ken Shaw that it is quite possible to simply use a tuner, although it is also helpful to use an outside sound source along with a tuner pick-up device so you can visualize the results on the intervals you are playing. To be perfectly in tune with a tuner is great if you are playing by yourself or with a piano tuned normally to the equal tempered scale. But as ensemble players, I believe we need to be aware of Just Intonation where we can achieve pure sounding, beatless intervals, and those do not necessarily correspond to the equal tempered tuner. For example, an interval of a major third must be 14 cents lower than the equal tempered note for the interval to be pure sounding. That is the "advanced" part of the book and I set out to provide a framework for learning it.
As Ken points out, listening is the whole thing....and in the long run, the only thing you need.
