Intro to Playing the Pedals

Gregg Isett gives us a short introduction to playing the pedals on an organ. In this case he is playing a Roland Atelier 900 organ. An additional video on this topic will be uploaded in the very near future.

So do you only heal and toe for chromatic runs, when you have to deal with a key with many accidentals, or might you also use it for a bass line in c?  Is there such a thing as proper 'footing' like there is fingering for one's hands?

@Ntalikeris666 I totally agree, the Pipe Organ would be the best teacher

I don't really understand what Ntalikeris666 is trying to say. Whether one plays a pipe organ or an electronic organ, the technique is the same. Yes the sounds can be vastly different, but the instrument that's being played on this video is not a simple SYNTH. I love his work on showing the basic, including the heel & toe. I'd love to hear more of his playing the theatre organ.

Thanks for the basics. Can't wait for more.

if someone want to learn pedal technique, it would be better for him to study pipe organ.

I say that becuase lots of people today play synthesyzers that have a plethora of sounds,- and Pedals similar to an organ- but most of them might think that it is the same thing to play in an organ and playing in a Synth.
