A slur groups notes that should sound connected rather than separated by articulation.

• Continuous airflow: a steady stream of air links every note in the slur.
• Valve changes only: the fingers do the work while the tongue stays still.
• Smooth sound: notes flow into each other with no gap.
• Contrast with tonguing: a slur is the opposite of a fresh tongue stroke on every note.

Practicing slurs helps you build a smoother, more musical tone overall.
