its like, short notes. played really like....gah how do you explain this?

okay all i can think of is its like... pokey?

you dont hold the notes out at all. as soon as the note is sounded, its taken away.

thats the best i can explain it.

a stacatto is like when you play a note and immediately after you hear a sound, mute it. the note you play isnt supposed to float on, it should stop sounding the moment it starts.

Isn't this ironic. I was driving home and trying to remember what the word was for those kinds of notes. There's my answer.

I think staccato was Italian for abrupt. So yeah its a note thats muted pretty quickly after playing it. It's easier to give an audio example...unfortunately i dont have one.
