How to Play Staccato Notes on a French Horn

Hi! I'm Katie and I'm here on behalf of expertvillage.com to show you how to play staccato on the French horn. Staccato marks look like this. All that means is to play a note very short. So if for example I would normally play a scale like this, if those notes had staccato marks under them it would sound like this. They are very short, they are very to the point. It almost helps to think of Bebe gun fire and in faster passages they are going to sound even more shorter. Like so and that is how you play staccato.
