Most underrated youtube channel. It's hard to have a teacher like you.! Love from india🇮🇳🇮🇳

This channel was suggested to me by KZread, and I just finished watching this video. I am so glad I found this channel haha. You're an excellent teacher, not only in that you explain the techniques really well for each type of staccato, but you're able to pull up examples and even performances that people can look into! Furthermore, the way you explained the finger+wrist staccato as sort of an electric shock is a great metaphor that would explain that technique easily to someone who's not too well-versed in piano. Subscribed. I plan on watching many more of your videos :)

Thanks. Great tips.

very helpful! your video is awesome

Congratulations for this great video. I found it really useful. Staccato is quite difficult to master, especially in fast passages.

Thank you teacher.

I love watching your guide. I would like to watch more your guide to start learner, thus please show me how to get the video Mr.Josh,

Brooo, you really rock!!

great video!

Awesome man

Great explanation thank you, it’s a relief to know you can do the staccato with fingers and arm too and not just the wrist. (Small suggestion though - maybe learning breathing through the nose and not through the mouth when talking? Like the Buteyko method? I’m working on my breathing too!) x

Thanks so much

Sonic Nirvana!!! Love It!!!😍

Love your tutorials! Would you use plucking staccato for the bergamasque menuet? I am struggling to get the right sound .. and there’s not tutorials online about this piece.. only clair de lune ( of course..) thank you!

Thank you for this. I'm teaching myself how to play and i had trouble understanding how to play staccato. I was tapping the key and moving away, instead of plucking it. This helps tremendously

very nice

Hi Josh, Studying how to explain staccato in an understandable approachable way for an online course I am in final editing for. I think arm staccato is higher up in the arm.? not just the hinge from the elbow? what do you think? fires up the upper arm , shoulder too. Gravity helps us? so we are more relaxed and never injured. Afraid of saying to lock the wrist ..never tension...horowitz slow motion amazing for octaves staccato....Elizabeth

Proof that the Piano IS a percussion instrument!!!😁👍🏻

I have aways wondered myself one important technical question which I'm sure you can help me to solve. I don't know how to play well scales and arpeggios in a non legato way at medium-high speeds. I know that the sound is so similar to legato playing at that speeds but there is a subtle diference between both. When I try to play this at high speeds my sound is stacatto or legato but I cannot get that non legato sound.

Is it the same for thumb swiping back cause it feels a little odd specifically finger staccato

Thank you for the differentiation. I play hymns at church and I see that I use more of the arm and hand type staccato. I was wondering if I was doing something wrong at times. During service, I felt my fingers or my wrist tire. Now I know that I can use the arm staccato and switch to wrist. I can switch to fingers when I am doing a flourish. Thank you so much. Thank you for your lessons you are helping a beginner be a more effective player.

Drummers alternate between forearm and wrist muscles to execute successive hits, so that each muscle only does half (or a fraction) of the overall work, preventing fatigue in any single muscle. Same principle with kick pedals on drumkit, leg muscle v heel. A lot of pianists instinctively end up using this to some degree too I think, it's that sinusoidal movement you end up with, in dominant hand at least... but better to do in both. Shares the work amongst different muscles!

I think portato. I think of portamento as a kind of glissando, usually on string instruments. It might be a case of “I say portato, you say portamento” though. :D

In regards to finger staccato, how should the thumb accomplish this? Natural angle of the thumb doesn’t lead itself to be pulling or sliding down.

As far as I know, «portamento» is a synonym of «glissando», whereas «portato» means the articulation you were talking about.

I think I was taught it as mezzo staccato

Its portato or portando. It means 'behaving without binding'. portamento (di voce) is carrying the voice from one tone into another.

@josh wright whats the song name at 7:43???

What about the thumb?

I like your hairstyle

🙏🙏🙏

i think it's portato for slow passages and non-legato for the faster ones (i'm italian)

TheDerDumme Yes, I think that is accurate. Portamento I know from violin and voice as a sliding technique which is different.

@@joshwrightpiano Excellent video, thank you! Concise, very clear. FWIW, in Italian, portato and portamento have the same root, but are grammatically different: portato means carried, per Graham's terminology, whereas portamento means carriage. So if you are playing a passage portato, you are executing portamento. It is possible though that, over the years, they have come to refer to different things musically.

Classical music is more in cartoons than you might think ;).

Portato and portamento, I think, have the same meaning. Two valid suffixes on the same word meaning 'carry'. It's like oxygenate and oxygenize. Potato, portato.

mezzo staccato ?????

Darn I want to have a teacher like you as hell, but even video course is totally too high for a worker like me 🤦‍♂️

The volume of this video is low.

If you are interested in turning this into a a business income, spend $50.00 and get a microphone that works. The listener should not have to strain to hear you. :)
