Piano Lessons 2 Tips on Pedalling
nirab
Piano lessons on pedalling; this is a simple exercise to do, while sitting away from the piano with your right foot on the floor, slap your right hand on your right knee gently and at the same time lift the front part of your right foot keeping the heel on the floor so that the toes are pointing into the air.
While doing the following exercise, say the counts aloud ‘one’ ‘two’ ‘three’ ‘four’, each count lasting for approximately one second:
Sitting at the piano with your right foot resting gently on the sustaining pedal (the pedal on the right) with your heel on the floor, play middle C with your right hand thumb at the beginning of count one.
At the beginning of the second count gently depress the pedal all the way down being careful the pedal does not make a sound, while still keeping the middle C note down with your thumb.
On count three lift the right hand approximately 4 inches (10 cm) above the keyboard and listen to the sound of middle C continuing while you keep the pedal depressed for the fourth count. Still keep your right hand above the keyboard.
At the end of the fourth count release the pedal gently so that it doesn’t make a sound, lifting your foot only as far as the top of the pedal to let it rest there gently.
The final exercise for piano lessons on pedalling which will complete the pedalling technique, will be posted within two days.
