Playing Staccato - Nuvo jSax Manual

In the tune Donkeys, you can see dots below some of the notes. These tell us that these notes
should be played "Staccato"
Staccato notes should be played short and detached, so each note is clearly separate from the note
that follows it.
Now try playing Donkeys again, this time we are going to play the quarter notes staccato. Start
and stop the notes clearly with your tongue so each note sounds shorter and is detached from the
following note.
