Young Band Repertoire Form
Articulations as icons (click image for .pdf)
I created a worksheet which allows students to visually distinguish the differences between articulations.
1. Regular (unaccented)
2. Accented
3. Marcato
4. Staccato
5. Tenuto
Note that each articulated note begins at the same time (they are vertically aligned). Each note differs by its enunciation (not attack) and the amount of space between the notes. I find that I can stimulate more critical thinking by having the students distinguish the differences in order to correctly identify the articulation.
