Rock and Roll Piano Tips: Rock and Roll Keyboard Lessons
“In this clip we’re going to be talking about acoustic piano and the parts of that instrument. You’re probably pretty familiar with it.

You also have your, typically you’ll have at least two pedals down here. On the right you have your sustain pedal. It just holds the note out while you’re, you know, after you’ve let up from it so you know, you can let things hold out until you jump to the next chord. Rather than having a, you know, you’re going to have a little bit more space there and just, it gives you one more type of expression there. This one typically makes the whole thing a lot quieter so if you’re playing in a quiet setting or you know, if you’re doing Moonlight Sonata is one of the classical pieces that uses it the whole time but you know, say if you’re doing, you know, in a rock and roll context, that doesn’t sound like rock and roll but you know, you get the idea that you know, you can do that kind of quiet. And then that gives you that much more dynamics when you take that pedal off and bring it out a lot louder so you would start off like this. This gives you more dynamic range, you know, these are all, it all is a matter of just using all these pieces together to a, you know, to make it happen for the piano.”
