Legato ~ To play in a slow, smooth and even style with no noticeable interruption between notes.

Staccato ~ To play short, detached notes. Marked by short, clear-cut playing or singing of tones or chords.

Using the word “Legato” in a sentence ~ The piano doesn’t always need to sound percussive and can also make a singing, legato sounding tone.

Using the word “Staccato” in a sentence ~ The woodpecker moves from tree to tree in search of insects, drumming a staccato beat on the tall trees’ trunks.

Lynn Kleiner’s new song “The Snail and the Mouse” is a perfect demonstration of legato and staccato working together and how they can be used to describe the personality or characteristic of an animal. The slow, smooth snail is used to indicate legato and the quick, sharp mouse is used to demonstrate staccato.

Music Rhapsody is an early childhood Orff music program so in our fun music classes for kids of all ages, we often use metallophones “metals”, which produce a nice, long sound – to demonstrate the meaning of legato.  We use xylophones “woods”, which produce a quick short sound – to demonstrate the meaning of staccato!
