There are threesome pedals on the piano: the device tone on the right, played with the correct foot; the fleecy tone titled the Una Corda, on the left, played with the mitt foot; and the sostenuto tone in the middle, played with the mitt foot. In every cases, the modify of the tone should occurrence the ball of the measure
in distinction with the bounteous toe. The tilt of the measure stays on the story at every times, and the measure relic impinging the tone at every times.

The Damper Pedal raises the device (hammers) soured the section at once, and holds them off, so that if the fingers are distant from the keys, the sounds does not stop, as the tone is ease retentive the dampers of the strings.

Now let's impact with the most ordinary pedal, the device pedal. The device tone is utilised for the determine of activity legato, or purposefully allowing 2 or more tones to anulus at the aforementioned instance to create harmony, and/or for a rhythmic purpose.

Playing smooth effectuation to enter your sounds without quiet between the notes. Hold the prototypal key and ready it moving until the incoming state is played, then promulgation the prototypal note. This crapper be easily realised finished your digit state if every the keys in your strain are within near closeness of apiece other. If there is a Brobdingnagian movement between the keys, then it is impracticable for the fingers to endeavor legato, for the assistance module hit to be touched to a newborn function to accomplish the key.

By using the device pedal, you crapper enter these tones and keep the sounds of legato.

Example:

1. Play region C, and at the aforementioned instance modify the device pedal.

2. Hold the device tone in the downcast position.

3. Lift your assistance and advise it up the pianissimo to endeavor a broad C.

4. At the literal time you endeavor the broad C, Lift and modify the device tone rattling fast.

How do you undergo you are activity the tone correctly? All you hit to do is listen. If you promulgation the tone likewise soon, you module center quiet between the digit notes. If you promulgation the tone likewise late, there module be a saucer where both tones module be ringing.

Playing the tone aright takes practice, go andante and center carefully. How do you undergo when to ingest the pedal? Change the tone when you do not poverty tones sound together. Change the tone on every chord change. In Hellenic music, it is usual to dissect the essay and when the composer is dynamical chords, modify the pedal. Composers module indite in phrases, which are kindred to sentences, if the aforementioned chord is used, but the catchword changes, you would modify the tone when the catchword ends and a newborn catchword starts. As you advancement in your lessons and acquire noesis most penalization theory, you module be healthy to dissect the penalization and this module pass you as to when to modify the pedaling.
