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 clear and concise content. For the first time, C. Paul Herfurth's original works have been thoroughly revised, incorporating new musical pieces and contemporary instrument techniques tailored for today's musicians.

The A New Tune a Day books maintain the series' logical and gentle progression while introducing numerous enhancements. Notably, the addition of audio resources, featuring actual performances and backing tracks, enriches the practice experience, making it more enjoyable. Accompanying diagrams and photographs guide students in mastering proper technique and tone. A video component covers essential topics, from instrument setup to playing initial notes, ensuring a solid foundation. Furthermore, professional insights and tips are provided to aid learners.

Each book offers a wealth of resources, including guidance on audio equipment, effective technique and posture instructions, a section on music reading, straightforward lessons presented on uncluttered pages, audio featuring virtuoso performances and backing tracks, engaging music selections such as duets and rounds, progress assessments, a handy pull-out chart for first position fingerings, and instructional videos to facilitate instrument learning.

Access to audio and video materials is available online through a unique code found within the book, allowing for streaming or downloading. The audio files feature PLAYBACK+, a versatile audio player that enables users to slow down tracks without altering pitch, set loop points, change keys, and adjust audio balance.
