💫⭐️Daily Tribe Gathering⭐️💫 legato

❤️LEGATO❤️ for more than just piano? 🎸🎻🎷

Smoothly connected
Not detached
Kind of like walking - you put one foot in front of the other BEFORE you lift the one on the back.

In music, legato refers to playing or singing notes in a smooth, connected, and flowing manner, with no intervening silence between notes. The term, which is Italian for "bound," often describes an articulation where each note's duration blends into the next, creating a seamless sound. A curved line, called a SLUR (you learned this yesterday!), is typically used in sheet music to indicate that notes should be played legato…

How to achieve legato:

Key characteristics:

No silence: A key aspect of legato is the absence of silence between notes.
Continuous flow: The goal is a fluid, connected, and unhurried performance.
Slur markings: A slur is a curved line above or below notes on a musical score that instructs the musician to play them legato.
Opposite of staccato: Legato is the opposite of staccato, which involves playing notes short and detached.

Pro tip for piano - the easiest way to check if your legato technique is on point is to remove the sustain pedal all together and listen if your notes flow from one another.
