Legato
A curved line, called a slur, placed above or below a group of notes tells you to play them legato. Legato means to play the notes smoothly so that they are connected to each other. To play notes legato, keep your finger on the key until you have started to press down the next key. Legato is the opposite of staccato. The next song shows the difference in sound between legato and staccato playing.
