Pedal Technique, Volume One

Pedal Technique, Volume One introduces the pianist to simple pedal mechanics. Beginning with hammers, dampers, and strings, students will become familiar with the inside working of the piano. The focus is then on the damper pedal - highlighting skills such as adjusting bench distance, keeping the heel down, and finding the pedal "floor." Good habits that develop proper pedal technique are reinforced with a variety of pedal exercises and pieces.
