Find private trumpet lessons in Houston

When you see a slur in trumpet music, it means you keep the air moving and switch notes with your fingers alone.

• Continuous airflow: a steady stream of air links every note in the slur.
• Valve changes only: you switch pitch with your fingers, not your tongue.
• 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.

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

In Houston, expect to pay about $56/h for an hour of trumpet.
