Was this helpful for you? Comment to let me know what sort of piano content you want :)
(Slight video editing mistake- 1:24 Clair de Lune, With* Pedal)
This was very helpful. Thank you!
@@tropiconix6934 Thanks so much! :D
This was great, thanks, I have been researching "what is a digital piano vs keyboard?" for a while now, and I think this has helped. Ever heard of - Danilliam Illustrious Dominance - (do a google search ) ? It is a great one off guide for discovering how to learning piano fast without the normal expense. Ive heard some great things about it and my buddy got excellent success with it.
This was helpful; in 6 months, l never even figured it out what the middle pedal does
On my piano the middle pedal can be shifted to stay down and it makes things quieter. I never knew what my far left pedal was for. Years of lessons and no one ever told me!! Thank you!
I'm happy this video gave you a little nugget to take away, all the best with your piano playing! :)
If your piano is an upright one, that might be the practice pedal. Usually it is the practice pedal if you can lock in the down position.
Omg i never knew what that middle pedal was for, haha! So obscure! I use the sustain a lot, and I use the left one if I want to practice without blasting out to the rest of my family too much (open floor plan).
You are an amazing instructor. I am 62 and want to use of my time efficiently. I came to the right place. I just started to learn piano more than two weeks ago ( no previous music background what so ever ). I try to establish good habit from the beginning and utilize the advices you gave on how to practice, daily routines, etc. Thanks so much. Technology and good instruction is a marriage in heaven for learning!,
really useful to hear this explained so straightforwardly, lots of videos on pedalling just talk about how to pedal, and don't really explain why to pedal. The musical examples were really helpful in showing the sound difference between pedalling and not pedalling.
Very useful tutorial, thanks!
New to your channel and loving it!
I've been playing piano for 26 years, and never did anyone explain pedal work this simple yet beautiful. F I N A L L Y !
Jazer, thank you for your lessons! All great tips and very approachable instructions 🎼 🎹
Fascinating, especially the left pedal, however, what if you can't use the pedals at all, can you get the same effect another way? I can't use them due to disability, I'm a wheelchair user and have paralysed lower limbs. I passed grade 7 as a teenager over 30 years ago without any use of the pedals. I am never going to be a concert pianist.
Thanks! it's really helpful! and easy to understand!
It's my great pleasure! :D
Blessings from Perú! I love your channel
You are a great player and a teacher. Waiting for more videos

Great videos!
Thanks so much matster333, let me know if you have any piano problems that I can help you with :)
thank you
I used the middle pedal when playing the second waltz by shostakovich.
Very important...
Tq sir u contribute alot
Good data 👍👍
You released this video on my b-day 😂 i just realized XD
Btw it's really really helpful, i always wanted to know what the middle and the left pedals do
Well, I learned what the sostenuto pedal does and how the others actually work, AND that I think I’ve been playing a note wrong in Für Elise for the past 17 years. 🤣 What the heck!
Edit: Ok, no in my book, instead of D, C, B, A at the end of the first repeat, I have E, C, B, A. Your way sounds better though, imo. lol
Thank you ! It really helped . The middle pedal is also known as the practise pedal right ? Because it is more quieter in playing
👍🏻
But in digital piano, you have to hold the keys for longer to sustain?
My middle pedal acts as a sustain pedal for the bass from bass E downward. I preciously had a very old piano in which the middle and left pedals softened the notes in two different ways. One of them dropped a strip of felt down between the hammers and the strings and the other shifted the entire keyboard just slightly so that the hammers would hit only two of the three strings for each note. The middle pedal is always a mystery to me because I've seen it do so many different things on different pianos.
The middle pedal like you have mentioned is sort of like a reverb pedal that allows the higher notes to sympathetically ring the low strings so it sounds like an echo in space!!
At least that is what I've used it for. I know they do different things on different piano, usually sostenuto on grand pianos, and that reverb echo effect on smaller uprights. 😇
Ok so I just looked it up and on older uprights the middle pedal has a few names. False sostenuto, bass sostenuto.
I don't remember if it was my piano teacher showing me or me discovering it's different functions on different pianos as an inquisitive youngster, but I do remember those notes being played in the middle and higher registers ringing like an auditorium!!
Dear Jazer Lee. Im from Denmark 70 years old, I have the problem I can,t remember the music I had Lear after I had a stroke. I think I have seam a lot of your videos her on UA-cam, and you where saying, I shall look at the node and not the piano. When I do that, the connection is very slow, how long time is it take, to play after note, so I can enjour the classic musik I will learn to play. I can play all the 12 major and minor chords + 7 chords
Good one, 越来越正，looking forward to many more
Thank you for watching my video Ying! :)
Should i practise with or without sustain pedal ?
Can you provide me any online course
I don't even play or plan to play a piano but arrived at this video because Steven Tyler was going crazy with his foot.
For years I only use the sustain pedal, I forgot the others even exist LULZ
I have an interesting fact to share and ask.
For my piano, the middle pedal makes the notes go a lot more silent.
Is that a normal thing or is my piano too old? (It's estimated 50 years old)
Or special design? I don't know lol
Also, the left one doesn't work at all. Doesn't move anything.
👍
Ahh.. Okay! it's like reverb effect isn't it?
I bought an online one, it got only 1 😶
Ignore my question in the other video about pedals 🤣 I should have watched this first
how much time do you need to learn piano
Minimum 2-3 years to be able to play songs that you like
hot shoes! wanna be your piano pedal
They make you play faster 😜
