smooth or stepwise.

Pizzicato

notes.

Ornament

instrument.

Tremolo This is the technique of rapidly repeating a single note, or rapidly alternating between multiple notes.

Hold This eect lets you press the damper pedal to sustain the note you played.

Strum This is the technique of sweeping across the strings of a guitar or similar instrument.

be heard.

Nail

the nger plucks the string.

Fall This is the technique of rapidly lowering the pitch of a wind instrument while simultaneously producing a decrescendo.

Staccato On a wind instrument, this is the technique of using the tongue to articulate the notes sharply, producing a clearly dened attack.
