Harmonic Notation

How do you read harmonic notation. Do u just have to find the harmonic for the note on the staff that it's on, or is it something diffrent.

It depends on how you want it. Most composers in orchestral and solo music just put a small open circle above the note. A few composers put diamonds over the notes that have the harmonic over it. That way you just go to that note and don't press down on the string.

But don't get the small circle confused with a big open circle. Those (rarely seen) mean to pizz the string were it snaps back on the fingerboard. (I've only seen 2 or 3 pieces with the snap) I personally don't remember how to notate a slap.
