Ornaments

• Trills - notes that are usually a semitone apart, played very fast.

• Appoggiatura - starts on a note that clashes with the chord and then moves to a note that matches the chord. The notes are usually a semitone/tone apart.

• Acciaccatura - Squeezing a short note in between a longer one (playing the short one as fast possible).

• Mordent - Similar to (and start off like) trills, except the last note is slightly longer. 

• Turns - A series of notes that are played tones/semitones apart (see example). There is also an inverted turn.
