Find private trumpet lessons in Augusta

On trumpet, a slur marks notes you connect without a new tongue stroke between them.

• Continuous airflow: you keep blowing steadily through the whole slurred group.
• Valve changes only: pitch shifts come from valve combinations, not new tongue strokes.
• Smooth sound: the result is a connected, legato phrase.
• Contrast with tonguing: a slur is the opposite of a fresh tongue stroke on every note.

Working on slurs regularly makes your playing sound more connected and expressive.
