@rumbler0 That's a good question. Legato usually refers to a general style of playing a piece of music while slurring is often an articulation for a particular phrase. Both involve playing long connected notes.
Ah! You're amazing :D You help me more than anyone else does. I play trombone & I'm 2nd chair in my high school. But truly I believe the only reson why is because I have a better tone quality than most at my level. I'm looking into getting a private tutor.. Thank you SO much, :)
@OTooleBoy213 If I understand your question correctly... I play the complete chromatic scale (C to C... upwards and downward) using E in seventh as a downbeat note. Therefore my positions (on the downbeat notes) are 6,7,7,3,3,2.
The trombone is indeed capable of a very smooth legato. The tongue functions like a valve (on the trumpet or horn). The end of one note is the beginning of the next (with no space in between). The slide needs to be moved very quickly between the notes. Listen to Tommy Dorsey, Buddy Morrow, Urbie Green, Dick Nash or Bill Watrous for examples of beautiful legato playing.
Hi Alan - When you say, "playing staccato on the trombone requires USING the word "top". I'm assuming that you mean to THINK the word "top" when executing staccato tonguing. As it isn't really possible to tongue/make the "p" sound in the word "top" while playing notes. The lips would have to be apart to create the "p" sound, which isn't possible when you're playing the horn.
Hi Alan - I understand and like your "tot" approach to playing staccato. However, I'm still not convinced how one can possibly use the TONGUE to create the "p" in the word "top" while playing. One can THINK the word "top" when playing staccato but, and I repeat again, it is not physically possible to create the "p" sound without separating one's lips.
@@alanraph9433 thanks for answering I have some trouble with my lips quivering while I play which ruins the whole tone quality and I don't know how to prevent it and how would I play a accent like the less than symbol
Mr. Raph, technically is the trombone the only instrument in brass where we cannot connect the notes right next to each other like the trumpet or french horn can? My teacher and myself were talking about this and there has been some debate as to whether there is a slur on trombone.
This is brilliant thank you
Man that’s awesome..I will practice
very nice :-)

You are obviously NOT from the expert village, you are miles better and the video picture is beautiful and sharp. Total enjoyment.

You need to close the note with a consonant (top or tot) rather than simply giving it a burst of air (ta)

thanks! great info for my 12 year old. He figured out the chromatics with the stacatto immediately
I'd like to understand your comment
Thanks Mr. Alan
your amazing. you have awesome tips!
thank you!!
So would the legato be the tenuto accent
It would generally be a slur

?Is it Ok to use "La" for legato
"Da" is more effective. It distinguishes one note from another. ""La" tends to blur them.
"Da" is better
thank u very much
are all these tips works on euphonium too?

Hey Mr. R. I was just wondering are legato and slurring the same, or is legato a type of slur?
