Linear Music Reading for Note Identification
Understanding Accidentals (Sharps and Flats)
Differentiating Ties and Slurs
Slur (⌒) - Connects **two or more different notes** (though sometimes the same note if other notes are between them). - Indicates that the notes should be played smoothly (**legato**) without any breaks or articulation between them
often under a single breath or phrase. - Each note under a slur is played separately
but connected seamlessly. - > 📝 **Example:** A curved line over D-E-F indicates playing D
