Can you please tell me the difference between legato tongueing and staccato when playing scales or pieces and how or where the tongue should be placed.
Thanking you,
Beryl.

i know stacatto is when the notes are short and detached. so i'm assuming your tongueing is long.

Staccato Tongueing is where you have a conciterable amout of space between each note. Not nessecaraly short but space between the notes. But don't conuse that with March Style Staccato which is Short and Separated. Just think of Staccato as Separated.
Legato Tongueing is here there is very little space between each note. Don't confuse it with a slur. You do toung each note but don't attack the note. Just but a very little bit of space between the notes. Or in other words hold the note out for its very complete value.
Hope this helps

Ok, this time without the spelling mistakes:
**Legato tongue: Hold notes for full value, with delicate tongue in between.
**Staccato tongue: Play the notes with a more noticeable attack, and make it evident that there is space in between notes.
**Accent tongue: Play the notes with a noticeable edge, and keep a very slight separation in between notes.
**Marcato tongue: An "edgy" version of staccato tonguing.
Of course these are only basics, there are many more different varieties of tonguing that serve different purposes.
