Re: Slurring upward

Those are all great approaches. To excercise them, go to p. 40 in your Arban. Play the excercises beginning with ascending slurs in 4ths slowly, at about mm quarter=72. Think of smooth connection, blowing up to the upper note as (toe-hoh), following the dynamic indicated. No stronger than mf, though. Then the 6ths, in quarter notes. Same idea.

What are you waiting for? Get busy!
