19 LESSON 17 TES AND SLURS A T E is a curved line that connects two adjacent The tone is held as though the two notes are one. notes of the same pitch. A SLUR is a curved line that connects notes of different 9:i r7?l! 1 2 3 4 pitch. A slur indicates that the music is to be sung or played as smoothly as possible. There should not be any space between the notes within the slur. 1.
