This booklet, Breakfast, and its companion audio compact disc, provide accompanied scale, arpeggio, and interval practice in pure harmony - or just intonation - rather than equal temperament. Repetitive drills, suitable for use among warm-up exercises, teach the slide hand to go to the precise position required for each note, depending on its context in major and minor keys.

Tone is best, and endurance improves, when we are not lipping notes into tune.
