You Say Staccato and I Say Legato...

Sounds like a song, doesn't it? But it's simply two ways of playing notes on the piano. One is staccato, those detached notes with the dots above them. The other is legato, usually indicated by a curved line or slur. Find out more about the perfect way to play using both of these technical skills in my Staccato-Legato exercise.
