Slurred

A slur connects a sequence of two or more notes together as one smooth sound. This is indicated by a curved line:

Legato

Legato is when the musician plays smooth, full-length notes with light articulation. This is notated by a horizontal line which is also known as Tenuto:

Staccato

A staccato note is played short and detached. It is notated by a dot over or under the note head:

Accent

An accent indicates a stronger attack or emphasis on the note. This is notated with an arrow over or under the note head:

Double tonguing

The quick changing between two tongue positions to create a fast succession of detached notes. A musician will naturally use double tongue if the music is calls for it, however, can be specifically notated with two dots above or below the note head:

Triple tonguing

Similar to double tonguing, it is the quick change of tongue position to create a group of three fast detached notes. A musician will do this naturally if the music calls for it, however, can be specifically notated with three dots above or below the note head:
