This is the best video explaining detached, legato and staccato, I found until now. And more important how to play it with hand shapes.

Please I want to learn the whole sight reading

I call staccato the "funky attack" since I've heard many funky keyboard pieces utilizing Staccato

[@franciscocalvo1980]

Thanks for the explanation. Maybe you could suggest some (easy) pieces for practising any of those techniques, either together or not. Maybe "Dozen A Day" as starting point?

[@nataliabanega1270]

awesome!!

[@Olesia_Kurilo]

Thanks alot!! Most songs are written in legato, right? Even if there is no such long line?

[@CalebePriester]

If there's no indication of staccato then assume legato.

Thank you for this great lesson!
Off topic: have you ever been told that your hands are simply beautiful? They really are, and I couldn't help telling you this.

[@pianotips2623]

No, I think you're the first one. You're too kind. Thanks!

[@RoseLee23]

@@pianotips2623 It's hard to believe... So, I'll repeat, and you - please - remember: your hands are beautiful! 👏👏👏👏👏

My teachers are Russian music conservatory teachers, but the way they teach me staccato is somewhat different. They teach it like a quick impulse from the wrist as if you are flicking a bug off your wrist. So its wrist quick fire up and fingers drive down. Its in contrast to the way many teacher a more bouncy wrist movement. TBH I find their way quite unnatural and awkward! However they are concert pianists so who am I to argue?!

[@fitzwilliamdarcy3328]

I think you are doing a disservice when you equate detached with a non-phrased/slurred passage. Most of the time, the default is legato unless otherwise notated. A detached section is often denoted by mezzo staccato. Everything else is legato with few exceptions (like sometimes Baroque).

[@eyedocnikhil]

How do quever and chrotchet staccato sounds different when placed together in the same bar??

[@Sophss-q6h]

I think they sound the same just the timing of when to play the note would be different based on your counting 1 and 2 and etc etc

[@Nick-ui9dr]

I guess if u pay attention to your display of keyboard. In legato u will find two pressed notes moving because of this lil overlapping time. But in stacato u will just a single pressed note moving across. In detached u will see a gap in display of a note and next note. I mean even if u deaf u can be sure u playing right or not this way! 🤪 🤭😁
