Music SalesTune A Day Violin Book 1 By Herfurth
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
The opening book of the Tune A Day violin method by Herfurth, published by Music Sales. For an absolute beginner starting structured lessons.
Strong match
Who this is for
- First violin book for a brand-new student
- Students working weekly with a teacher
- Adults restarting violin from the beginning
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Players who already read music and shift positions
- Anyone wanting popular songs rather than graded exercises
- Self-teachers who need video or audio demonstration
What matters in use
The specifications, translated
Catalog numbers tell only part of the story. These are the details most likely to change how this product feels, sounds, or fits into a setup.
Detail 02
Method book, not a songbook
Content is ordered exercises that build reading and bowing step by step, not a collection of tunes to pick from.
Detail 03
Herfurth method
A long-established traditional approach. Teachers who assign it will know exactly which page you are on.
Detail 04
Violin-specific
Written for violin fingering and bowing. Viola, cello and other strings need their own edition of the series.
Detail 05
Around $12
Cheap enough that most students buy the whole series over time rather than committing to one book.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Book only — no violin, bow, rosin or shoulder rest included
- 02Confirm your teacher uses this method before buying the series
- 03Beginners usually need finger tapes fitted first
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Is this for a complete beginner?
Yes. Book 1 is the starting point of the series and assumes no prior violin experience or music reading.
02Can I teach myself violin with this?
It is designed around teacher guidance. Bow hold, posture and intonation are hard to self-correct, so lessons alongside it help a lot.
03What age is it suitable for?
It suits any student old enough to read standard notation and hold a correctly sized violin, from school age through adult beginners.
04What comes after Book 1?
The series continues into later numbered books, so you move to the next one instead of restarting with a different method.
