Ornaments for the complete newbie

[newkidintown]

Hello! Sorry I've made so many topics the past couple weeks, a lot's been happening musically...

My primary orchestra got new music the other day, and one of the pieces is Bach's Concerto for Clavier in D major. Since I only started lessons again a few months ago after five-ish years on my own, I've spent most of the past several years playing whatever I wanted, and that never included Baroque pieces (I was admittedly rather immature). So I'm rather excited to have a good chance like this to dive into Baroque-style playing, and I've learned a lot from rehearsal alone (I don't have another lesson for a couple weeks due to school), I'm just a little unclear on ornaments... Are there certain rules I need to know, specific types of ornaments, etc.? I just don't want to make an idiot of myself when the conductor is offering me such a great opportunity.

This book is a good introduction, it is concise without too much academic ramblings:

Are you going to play one concert of Bach, without know how to play ornaments in baroc style??? Hum...
Search in this forum (on the right top of the page) because there is at least one post with how Bach itself played them.
Best wishes

Bach's own table of ornaments:

Thank you all! That table especially has proven itself very helpful. And @rmbarbosa: it's a student orchestra. These kinds of learning opportunities are why I joined.
