Re: staccato after slur

Unless you are dealing with a very quick succession of notes (rapid sixteenth two tongued, two slurred) there should NOT be a stop to a note using the tongue. That sound is too abrupt, has no natural taper and must be avoided. Stopping a note happens at your mid section and is a function of the effort of your abdominal muscles being at equilibrium with the effort of your diaphragm (a perfect isometric exercise).
