Piano Lessons – 1 Tip on Pedalling
nirab
Piano Lessons; this lesson is the final one on Tips on Pedalling. Go to the first lesson and follow the instructions. Start counting from ‘one’ again and play D with the 2nd finger of your right hand on count ‘one’ and simultaneously release the pedal carefully. Listen carefully to ensure the sound of C connects to the following note D. This is the equivalent to the slapping of the knee exercise. You are still releasing the pedal at the end of count ‘four’ which is also the beginning of count ‘one’. Continue on in the same way, pedalling each note until you reach the C one octave higher than middle C. Use your ear as you need to listen for the connection in sound from one note to the next.
In this tip for piano lessons, this is called legato pedalling. It is also called syncopated pedalling. Most pedalling is carried out in this way.
