KIDS TRIVIA

Detailed explanation-1: -Modern pianos usually have three pedals, from left to right, the soft pedal (or una corda), the sostenuto pedal, and the sustaining pedal (or damper pedal). Some pianos omit the sostenuto pedal, or have a middle pedal with a different purpose such as a muting function also known as silent piano.

Detailed explanation-2: -If you only have two pedals in total on your piano, as many uprights do, the right will be the sustain pedal and the left will be the una corda pedal. These other two pedals are not used as often as the sustain pedal, yet they can add so much more colour, variety and texture to our playing.

Detailed explanation-3: -The modern piano foot pedal configuration has been in its current form since the late nineteenth century, with three foot pedals: sustain (damper pedal), sostenuto, and una corda or soft pedal (sometimes referred to as the shift pedal).
