You are at the Legato's practice page - Make it a daily practice!

Practicing the Legato, we shall play the notes tied to an open string! This is to assure that you are not using too much effort! The Legato can improve your playing by making your right hand’s fingers independent, free, and much faster - but this can happened only if you will practice while your wrist and palm are free!!!

Up-stroke - 2 notes

Pluck only the first note of each pair (D) than hit the slur tie note - with the left-hand fingers as they where little hummers

Down-stroke. 2 notes

Play the first note – of each pair – normally. Then place the next finger on the tied note and pull it downward until it’s leaping so that the sound produced is lower but clear.

Up-stroke - faster...

...But first, start slowly!

Down-stroke - Faster...

Gradually move faster…

Up and Down strokes

Play only the first note of each bar (red) then use your up and down stroke technique continuously
