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

• 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: tonguing separates notes, slurring joins them.

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

Working with a qualified teacher makes self-taught struggles much easier to avoid.
