Find private trumpet lessons in Harrison

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: pitch shifts come from valve combinations, not new tongue strokes.
• Smooth sound: slurred notes blend together instead of sounding separated.
• Contrast with tonguing: tonguing separates notes, slurring joins them.

With guided practice, slurring becomes second nature and improves your phrasing.
