http://www.pianocareer.com/. This video tutorial is dedicated to the 3 main pedaling techniques: the delayed pedal, the simultaneous pedal and the preliminary pedal. I also describe pedal gradations - the full pedal and the half pedal.

If you want to discover more piano pedaling secrets and techniques, read my article on PianoCareer.com:

  • i followed like what u said : change padle on different cords. But my piece is just like 4:55 where i have 4 same cords in a bar. But mine sounds "dirty" messy and noisy. I cant seem to get it right! oh please save me haha (it is a slow song) thanks in advance

  • @Rienei Hi! The pedal sounds 'dirty' only in one case: when you're 'mixing together' on the same pedal two or three different dissonant chords! So the pedal cannot be 'dirty' if the 4 chords are all the same. It it does, it means that you didn't change the pedal in the beginning of the bar and you're still left with the 'echoes' of the chords from the previous bar! For making sure that your pedal is 'clean', you have to change it on EACH NEW HARMONY. For more info, visit my site! ;)

  • THANK YOU GIRL :) This will help so much!

  • @TodayTheSkyIsBlue You're welcome! ;)

  • can you give us an example by play a song with the pedal shot?

  • @Wang2000 Check out my last video - "Using the Piano Pedals Depending on the Style of the Composer" - there you can see the pedal AND how I play :)
