Grab a scarf or clear some space to move your body while you learn about the difference between staccato and legato with Ms. Elizabeth and Forte.

We’ll be experiencing this musical concept with our voices and with our bodies and then we’ll compare and contrast two different classical movements from Saint-Saëns’ Carnival of the Animals to reinforce the idea.

We often share free printables to accompany our podcast episodes. For this episode we’ve created a staccato and legato printable for your little one to give them a visual representation to help them understand this concept even further, just click here to grab your FREE download: www.clapforclassics.com/episode9
