Introducing Slurs - Nuvo Play It Today Series Manual

jSax
Slurs
If there are notes in a tune which should not be tongued, we connect the notes with a slur; this means
those notes should be played in one breath, moving your fingers smoothly to change the notes.
Remember to keep your air moving from one note to the next, so no gaps can be heard between the
notes.
Try playing Merrily again, this time with some of the notes slurred. Try to play those passages in one
breath, with no gaps.

Now try playing Hot Cross Buns again, this time using different notes. We call this playing in a
different key.
