1A TUNE A DAY
3Since the publication of the first A Tune A Day book more than 60 years ago, this enduring series of instruction guides has become the mainstay of beginner musicians and teachers alike. Each book encourages the development of a sound instrumental technique whilst giving an excellent grounding in music theory.
4The presentation of the books allows the student to progress at a pace best suited to his abilities and enables him to reach an advanced stage of performance in the optimum time.
5Equally effective for individual or group study, the books embrace most instruments of modern musical combinations, from Flute to French Horn and from Saxophone to Sousaphone.

94C. Paul Herfurth, author of the first titles to be published, later enlisted the services of Hugh M. Stuart (Woodwind), Vernon R. Miller and Herbert A. Mattick (Brass) and Howard M. Peterson (Mallet Percussion) as associate writers to expand the instrumental coverage of the books.
95Born in 1893, Herfurth began violin lessons at the age of seven and studied in Germany for a year before entering the New England Conservatory of Music in 1911.
96Graduating in 1916, his first school position was at Asheville, North Carolina. In 1922 he moved to New Jersey and organised that state's first full instrumental music program.
97Although best known for his A Tune A Day books, Herfurth has also edited and arranged many collections for violin, cello and viola with piano. He now lives in retirement in Florida.
