There are hundreds of slur exercises but slur scales cover many combinations and place them in a more musical context. Certain keys will involve a degree of stretching and shifting to accommodate the notes. I’ve ordered the below scales from easy to more complex. Alternate i-m or use any logical right hand fingering. You can play any scale with slurs and I encourage you to discover more keys on your own.
