🎹🦶50 Shades of the Damper Pedal

Published about 1 month ago • 1 min read

Last week I told you about the lesson where Mrs. Moore spent an entire hour on nothing but my pedaling.

I walked out thinking I was ahead.

I wasn't. I was following instructions with my foot and completely ignoring what my ear was telling me.

That might be exactly what you're doing.

Your score notates down and up. Your ear notates everything in between.

And it doesn't show up in how much you practice. It shows up in how much you hear.

So I built a workshop around fixing it.

50 Shades of the Damper Pedal is live and open for registration.

👉 SAVE YOUR SEAT FOR $10 through May 13.
On May 14 it increases to $37.

🗓️ Thursday, May 14 | Noon PT | 3 ET | 9 CET

60 minutes, live, with a 2nd camera on my pedal foot.

Here's what you'll experience during the workshop:

🎧 Train your ear to know exactly when to change the pedal

🔉 Discover how depth and flutter shape your sound beyond just on and off

💨 Hear the difference between fast changes and slow releases and why it matters

🤚 Legato fingers vs. legato pedal and why confusing them is costing your sound

👀 Watch advanced pedaling live with a 2nd camera on my pedal foot
This isn't a lecture. You'll be at your piano (with zoom on mute) the whole time, experimenting in real time.
By the end of 60 minutes, you won't just understand pedaling differently, you'll already be pedaling with your ear. 👂

For $10 you get live access, replay through May 19, and the 50 Shades of Pedaling Reference Guide, a composer-specific resource you'll keep at your piano.

🎹 🤦‍♀️ I broke my own rule {video}

I thought my competition days had ended more than 30 years ago. Apparently not. 🤷♀️ There are very few international piano competitions with no age limit. I only know of three.I've been recording for one of them this past week. I love the preparation. What I didn't love was what happened last week. The maximum submission length was 15 minutes, which isn't much time to make an impression. My plan was to submit Brahms's left-hand arrangement of the Bach Chaconne. It's an extraordinary piece,...

👀 Do you see it?

I started this weekly newsletter 6 months ago and have been searching for the right name for it, followed by a logo. And here it is, sitting at the top of your email. PRACTICE NOTESunfiltered. It didn’t go perfectly. I knew when I landed on the name (after 48 iterations) but I originally started with a completely different design direction. It just wasn’t landing. So I scrapped it and went somewhere entirely different before arriving at the logo you see now. And as soon as I had it, I knew....

👀🦶Watch my foot, not my hands

Your score tells you when to pedal down and when to release. You know what it doesn't tell you? How slow or fast to pedal. 🐢 🏃♀️ That gap is where most of your pedaling decisions are happening on autopilot and you don't even know it. In this YouTube short from the recent 50 Shades of the Damper Pedal workshop, I'm playing 24 seconds of Debussy Reflets dans l'eau. I'm describing what to watch and listen for. Watch my foot. You'll notice it doesn't always move at the same speed. Sometimes fast....
