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

In practicing the legato, we shall play notes involving an open string! This is to ensure that you are not using too much effort! The legato can improve your playing by making your right hand fingers independent, free, and much faster - but this can happen only if you will practice with your wrist and palm free!

Play the first note of each pair normally. Then pull the left hand finger downward such that the lower note produced is clear..
