John W. Schaum Pedal Studies for the Piano / Book 1

The chief difficulty in piano pedaling is to make the foot move in the opposite direction from the hand. When the hand goes down the foot comes up and vice versa. However, most students instinctively put their foot and hand down at the same time and then lift their foot and hand together. Yet to make pedal connections, the pupil must learn to move hand and foot in contrary motion. The SCHAUM PEDAL STUDIES are dedicated to mastering this problem.
