Slurs

If there are notes in a tune which should not be tongued, we connect the notes with a slur. These
notes are played in one breath but are not separated with the tongue. Move your fingers smoothly
to change the note.
Try playing "Merrily" again, this time with some of the notes slurred. Try to play those passages in
one breath, with no gaps.

Part 2
Now try playing "Hot Cross Buns" again, this time using different notes and adding some slurs. We
call this playing in a different key.
