Video 10: Using The Sustain Pedal
Continuing on, this video shows:
1) What the sustain pedal is, and why you sound like a terrible beginner until you learn how to use it correctly.
2) When to hold it down, and when to release based on the type of music you’re playing and how often the chords you’re playing are changing.

You’re really a genius! Thanks for sharing your skills/knowledge and making it so really easy to understand even for beginners like me. Appreciated you Tim!

The best!
Dear Tim. It is lovely to find someone who is great at what he does and has vocation to teach others an easy way to learn to play the piano. I will digest the 10 videos first. I love composing songs with digital software but learning to play the piano would be a dream come true for me. Thanks ever so much.
Thank God I came across this
And thank you piano genius
WOW. Just Wow.
Just started learning how to play with my daughters toy keyboard worth 10$ 1000 pesos (thats all I can afford) ?here in the Philippines but I really really learned a lot. I pray that I can also afford a good keyboard that sounds better. hahaha.
Thank you Sir.
Excellent lessons! You’re a great teacher; so easy to follow and understand! And so generous to share these at no cost. Amazing.
WOWWWW ITS AMAZING AND EXCELLENT EASY FOR BEGINNER LIKE ME …
WOWWWW ITS AMAZING AND EXCELLENT…
WOOW this is just amazing, I had been searching for lessons like these for so long! I finally found em
Just started playing piano, impressed with your teaching methods, how do I enrol for course etc.
Nice easy I’m in
Omg. One word WOW. I am new to playing but not for long. Good job. Thank yo
If I subscribe to your service , will there be more lessons by you? And how many?
Al, there are hundreds and hundreds of more videos for members, covering everything from a lot more beginning piano to ballads, rock, pop, blues, soloing, “cocktail jazz”, holiday songs, etc, etc.
I’m shocked at myself
Thanks bro
Nice. 🙂
Simply Superb Course! Great Piano Genius!!!
You have it look so easy with the approach you’ve taken. Thanks
It very heplful for the begginers like me to learn how to play piano. GJ :)))
woow so nice. I have learned so well. how can I go on to the next stage?
That’s great to hear David; The next step is to move on to Module 1.
Hi Tim, Your learning system is exactly what I was looking for, I’m so glad to have found it on youtube. Your videos are perfect short and to the point. I have learned more in 4 days than I ever thought possible. Excellent way of explaining chord and scale patterns.
I don’t have a sustain pedal. And I am using a keyboard. you’re not using it frequently right?
Unless it’s a very inexpensive keyboard that runs on batteries, you likely do have a place to plug in a sustain pedal. Sustain pedal is definitely important somewhere along the line, although it has nothing to do with initially getting familiar with notes, chords, etc.
Hi Piano Genius again. I meant to say that no wonder many learners don’t know you brilliant introductions because many tutors are somehow are holding their pupils back in order to book more lessons with them!
Absolutely fantastic way of learning thank you so so much.
thank you very much, you have made it easy for me to learn. I’m loving each and every one of your videos.
I love ur teaching method it is easy to come pretend thank you
this is the best website and idea.
am sure i will be the best pianist in our church
I have always thought there must be an easier way. I am now enlightend. I think you summed it all up in 10 lessons but have you any more? Pleeeeeeeeez!!
The next step is moving on to Module 1, which picks up right where these first 10 videos left off.
Tanks for you
I really like your website you have been blessed and bless you more!!!
I stopped searching already. I’m so grateful to you for taking out time to share your knowledge and not going with it to the grave. You’ll always be remembered. God bless you.
Loved the get to the good stuff quickly. will there be more lessons after video 10?
I’m glad you liked the first 10 videos! After these 10 videos there’s two options:
1) You can try out Module 1 (which contains 12 more videos) and continue on from there, or
2) If you’ve already had some piano lessons/training, I’ve started an “All Access” with 500+ videos that continually get added to.
Many years I played wrong joust I sow this 10 videos and it’s changed all my wrong things .Thank you for you best teaching I be told it’s best teaching on the world.Thanks all at ….
Shello! I really enjoyed all ten piano learning video’s! These video’s teach you basic and advanced piano hand technique’s which sound nice when combined C on C or D on D from opposite hands or 1-3-5 as to opposed left hand of 1-3-5 (1-8) or into more movement’s as hand cordination is taugh with practice… I wouldn’t say I learned all of these step’s right away as a piano beginner, but it has really opened the way I see piano into whole’s and cut’s and so forth…
So far, I learned online how to:
#1 Understand Piano
#2 Intro. to left hand, number’s to chord progession’s
#3 Sharp’s and Flat’s
#4 Left hand basic’s, octave’s, single note’s
#5 Left hand with fifth
#6 Basic time, measure 4 beat’s
#7 Strong structure 1-4-5 progression
#8 Dress-up chord’s 1, use 2 and 4, for chord’s to have interesting sounds
#9 Dress-up chord’s 2, play thumb separately, for more movement’s
#10 Sustain pedal intro. using ear to release to start next chord
Thanq’s a lot, Piano Genius!

I LIKED UR TEACHING METHOD & UR TECHNIC OF REMEMBERING THE NUMBER SYSTEM INSTEAD OF REMEMBERING THE NOTES IS SUPERB.I WOULD BE HAPPY TO WATCH MORE VEDEOS AS I WATCHD ONLY 10 VIDEOS.
I just registered as a member and after watch the welcome video I am so glad I decided to go this route. I love the idea of getting comfortable with a module before moving on or moving on once you have already mastered a module. I really do think I will finally be playing after watching these modules. This is something I have always wanted to do and I thank you so much for making this possible for people like me 🙂
What if I don’t have a sustain pedal?
Where’s the melody? Perhaps you get into that in your paid membership, but from the free lessons it seems this course is geared to someone comping or singing the melody. I can’t sing and don’t plan on being part of a band. I am looking to learn to play for my own enjoyment.
you’re my greatest teacher.. Thank you very much Sir..
I buy my piano last year december and till now i feel frustrated that i can only play what ive learned from my tutorial lesson,,thank God i found you. It wont be the same again:)
I am so blessed I found your website. God bless your wonderful heart that you impart the most important easy way how to play the piano. I have a hard time writing the notes in a tape and putting it in the key pad so I could memorized all the notes and it is so terrible. But now you gave me a great motivation to continue my interest to learn how to play the piano and to use it for my ministry. I am so greatful to Sir.
This teaching is the best I found on web so far and I am sticking with this, all i need is a keyboard to play!
you are indeed a great teacher, i appreciate your lessons tim. i have learned more about piano in one day than several weekly lessons.
Thank you so much for sharing such a wonderful knowledge. You are a GENIUS. I am new to keyboard but can easily grasps things from your wonderful techniques. Thanks a lot.
Well thanks this is the best teacher i ever ..
I have practiced with all of the ten free videos, my question is whether these are the same videos as the ones in module one? I want to sign up for the first months trial but don’t want to be entering my payment info if it’s all the same videos. thanks
Do you have something to sell? I want it. Seriously. Create an e-course, I’ll be the first to have it! 🙂
