This note is to be played short and more “punched” than
staccato
TENUTO
The line on top means the note is to be played long. Not
necessarily longer than the note value but played out
and more prevalent.

This is an attack sign and the note or notes should be
played with that in mind
FERMATO

musician or leader of the group)
ORNAMENTS
TRILL
Very fast playing of the note specified and the next note
according to the key signature
MORDENT
Very fast playing of the note specified and the next note
according the key signature. This is not continuous as
in the trill. When you get back to the original note you
hold the specified note.
TURN
This can be done is many different ways. The main idea
is playing the specified note, playing the next note
(within the same key signature), returning to the
specified note, playing the next lower note (within the
same key signature), and landing back at the specified
note.
