  • Hello again, just a question but not to do with transposition - does a slur change the rhythm of a bar? as the notes are tied together...

  • @bluebumfuwa A slur won't change the rhythm but a tie may. I appreciate that slurs and ties look the same but they work in very different ways. Have a look at my video on slurs and ties which goes into detail about the workings of both the slur and the tie. Hope this helps. Best wishes.

  • Are you sick in this one?? I've watched all your videos and you seem sick or sad in this one

  • @bluebumfuwa lol! You're quite right - I don't sound my usual happy-chappy in this video. Must have been having a 'down day'. Will add this video to my list to re-record at some stage in the future. Best wishes.

see all
