Description

This collection includes books 1 and 2, along with excerpts from the performance book. Since its introduction in the 1930s, the A Tune a Day series has transformed music education in both classrooms and homes with its concise and clear content. For the first time, C. Paul Herfurth's original works have been thoroughly revised, featuring new musical pieces and the most current instrumental techniques tailored for a new generation 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 featuring actual performances and backing tracks will make practice more enjoyable and engaging, and the illustrative diagrams and photographs will assist students in mastering the ideal technique and tone. This book offers: guidance on equipment, instructions for developing an effective embouchure and maintaining a comfortable posture, a section explaining music reading, straightforward lessons presented on clear, uncluttered pages, audio CDs with exceptional performances, backing tracks, and audio examples, a selection of enjoyable music including duets, rounds, and ensemble pieces, assessments to evaluate progress and understanding, a handy pull-out chart detailing all fingerings, a repertoire selection at the end, and much more!
