Well on my piano piece, my right hand needs to play a staccato quarter note and at the same time my left hand plays an eighth note... so which one would you play longer?
right hand is playing 4 quarter notes staccato in the measure while the left hand is playing 8 eighth notes.
I am late elementary... if I sort of just tap the staccatos, making them even shorter than the eighth notes... should I try to time the tap of the stacatto into the center of the sound of eighth note... or else start them both at the same time?
