The Life of a Pianist in Training

Pedaling Fun!

Piano pedals are like the birth order of children.  We'll say the left pedal is the oldest child....usually well balanced, usually not too loud, and there to help the younger children be more balanced.  The right pedal is the youngest child.  Usually the fun one who everyone knows, and the loudest of the bunch.  Usually the most popular child....it's a fact that the youngest child is usually the most playful one.  :-). The middle pedal is the middle child and has the same hard time as the middle child in a family.  It is loved just the same in the family, but it is usually the quiet one that can be forgotten by others being that it is sandwiched in between the super responsible one and the super popular one.  But the middle pedal is honestly the most well balanced one because it is never overused, it is not bossy, not too soft or too loud, and only used by the more advanced pianist, and therefore usually never has too many problems, and therefore turns out to be the most balanced of them all.  The golden pedal!  :-)
