Video Transcript

"Hi! I'm Katie and I'm here on behalf of expertvillage.com to show you how to play a slur on the French horn. In music, a slur looks like this. A slur is this curve line right here, it could be a part of passage as you see here and this slur could go above the notes or the slur may appear below the notes. Slur means that all of these notes are slurred together. A slur may also happens between just two notes as we see right here. This is a slur from an E up to a D and this would be smooth and connect the air will not stop. All that slur means is that the two notes are connected and you don't stop the air in between. So if for example you saw a A and then a C and there was no slur, it would be two distinct notes. Like so. If you were to slur them they would be nice and smooth. Now when slurring I'm keeping the air study and constant so the air would never stop. I keep on blowing and all that changes is my fingering if the changing notes is also changing fingering and my embouchure but the air never stops. You could play entire passages as slurs if that is how they are written and that is how you play a slur. "
