Description

Since its inception in the 1930s, the A Tune a Day series has transformed music education both in classrooms and at home with its succinct and clear content. For the first time, C. Paul Herfurth's original works have been thoroughly revised, featuring new musical selections and updated instrument techniques tailored for a contemporary audience of musicians. The A New Tune a Day books maintain the same logical and gentle progression, along with meticulous attention to detail, while introducing numerous enhancements. The addition of an audio CD, which includes actual performances and accompaniment tracks, will make practice sessions more enjoyable and engaging. Furthermore, the inclusion of explanatory diagrams and photographs will assist students in mastering proper technique and tone. The accompanying DVD covers essential topics, from setting up the instrument to playing initial notes, guiding users through the early pages of the book to ensure a solid foundation. Additionally, it offers valuable insights and tips from a professional musician. Each book features: guidance on audio equipment, instructions for effective technique and comfortable posture, a section on music reading, straightforward lessons presented on clear, uncluttered pages, an audio CD with a virtuoso performance, backing tracks, and audio examples, a selection of enjoyable music including duets and rounds, assessments to monitor progress and understanding, a handy pull-out chart detailing all first position fingerings, and a DVD designed for Zone 0 to facilitate your instrument learning journey.
