  • The Pedal is one of the most important tools at the piano to create soundeffects and volume. In this video I am sharing 3 Tips and Tricks to improve the control of the pedal. The talking points are timing, vertical movements and practicing with concert shoes.
    ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    On this channel I am sharing my experience and thoughts about fingerings, interpretation, fingertechniques and playing piano in general. If you have any questions or ideas please leave it in the comments!

      When I have a recital, I try to wear shoes with a very thin sole (when I wear one that is not, I feel like I'm pressing the pedal all the time!) 😂😂😂. Congratulations for all your work, your content is amazing. 🖤

    Never ask a woman, her age.

    My daughters both play the piano and always practice in an oxford heel. There's something very mesmerising about watching the toe of their shoe going up and down on the pedal, using their stiletto heel as a pivot.

      If you’re committed, you could be 60 and achieve decent results. People always argue that “brain stops developing at x age, muh wife son told me,” but the truth is that the brain stops developing late into your 20’s and neural pathways can still be changed for the rest of your life. Science says yes.

    • @PassionPno
      @PassionPno 2 роки тому

      Depends on what kind of sound you're looking for, as in your interpretation. Can either lift it right on the 3rd beat as your fingers sink into the keys to play the chord, or you could do legato pedalling (changing the pedal on the 1st beat after you play the low bass note while your finger is still holding on to the key).

  • @cameronburnett9679

    I've always wanted to hear the Chopin octave etude with the pedal down inbetween every octave. The timing is ridiculous at that speed but I think it's possible.
