Pedaling for Effect

Use the sustain pedal for atmospheric effect (sustaining notes in a line for a blurred effect) or to help sustain a note or chord over several measures.

Blurred lines and long sustains

In this exercise, the pedal helps sustain the long notes in one hand while smoothing the melodic movement in the other hand. Combined with a soft dynamic, this technique helps create a misty, mysterious effect.

Sustaining as the hands leave the keyboard

You can use the pedal to give notes their full value when you have to move your hands to a new position on the keyboard. This can also be a plus musically, because you can exaggerate the rhythms and the differences between the long and short articulations.
