Find private trumpet lessons in Madison

A slur is a notation symbol showing which notes should flow together using only the valves.

• 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: 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.

Self-teaching trumpet works for the basics, but some skills are hard to build alone.

• Motivation: regular sessions with a teacher keep practice on track.
