It has however.a more General meaning and when it appears over a group of notes it signifies that these notes are to be played a musical unit or phrase and that the tone of the instrument in passiog from one note to another will be ‘as smooth as possible. The same meaning is expressed by the word legato written at the begioning of melody or phrase. To play legato on most wind instruments itis merely necessary totongue the first note under the slur and sustain the tone while passing from one note to the next without additional tongue attacks. The flow of air through the instrument is uninterrupted during the slur. If this procedure were followed for the slide trombone, glissandos (“smears”) would be produced between tones on the same harmonic (See Position Chart. page 2) To avoid these “smears” and acquire a legato style of trombone playing the following rules should be observed. 1. Use a soft tongue attack, Instead of using the rather explosivetoo! attack witha light “doo” syllable. ide quickly between notes and make the interruption in tone while the slide is being shift- od as slight as possible. Recontinue the tone after the shift with a very light “doo” attack. 3, When two notes of different pitches are connected by a slur and can be played with the same slide position, the lip slur should be used if the player can use it smoothly. 4. The lip slur should also be used when the slide shifts just one rosition, in or out, and the tone skips” up or down more than a half step (semitone). Examples of skips effective as lip slurs > — — 2nd 2nd 4th =< 4th«= Grd 2nd th Sth«= 2nd st, rd Ath 5, Sometimes it is possible to lip slur a skip when the slide moves two positions in or out provided that, if the slide moves out, the change is to a higher tone, and if the slide moves in, the change is to a lower tone, — ep Examples 2nd 4th ist 3rd 3rd Ast 4th 2k 6, By being familiar with the different positions in which the same note may be played (See Chart, page 2) the player can choose less common positions for some of the notes in order that lip slurs may be introduced to improve the legato playing. “doo 400 doo” lip olur. “doo doo doo” lip star, _—S a Ist 4th tot 4th Ath tt th 4th Sth Ath Rebenk Blem.
