Another Robert Estrin video, this one on pedaling techniques.

Here are some tips Estrin offers when pedaling:
1. Keep heels firmly on the floor.
2. The ball of the foot is how you control the pedal.
3. Always keep the ball of the foot in contact with the pedal. If you don't, and you come down on the pedal, it creates noise.
4. The pedals of each piano is different. They all release the dampers at different points. You have to experiment to see how you can pedal quietly and effectively.
5. One of the first things you want to do before playing a piano, especially for a concert, is how the pedals respond.
