Valyncia asks: how to make smooth slurs on the violin?

What is slurred bowing?

Two sorts of slurring: with a string change and on one string

Four tips on how to slur smoothly:
1 devide your bow properly
2 make an even sound from frog to tip
3 make clean string changes
4 make your fingering clear and confident
