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: the fingers do the work while the tongue stays still.
• Smooth sound: the result is a connected, legato phrase.
• Contrast with tonguing: tonguing separates notes, slurring joins them.

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

The hourly rate for trumpet tuition in Queens averages $58/h.

This rate varies depending on several factors:

• The package you choose (one-off or regular)
• The teaching mode (in-person or video call)

Comparing several profiles helps you find the best value.

Many beginners start self-taught before adding a teacher later on.

• Embouchure: getting your lip position right is tricky to judge without outside feedback.
• Breath support: proper airflow technique benefits from real-time correction.
