Again this is a very difficult time for teachers that are noticed. Being pink slipped can bring up a lot of feelings having to do with work and personal family concerns. I wanted to write this blog post to connect to teachers that are pink slipped and to let them know that they are not alone.
Pedal tone example. The repeated d in the first measure is the pedal point. Play. In tonal music, a pedal point (also pedal tone, pedal note, organ point, or pedal) is a sustained tone, typically in the bass, during which at least one foreign, i.e., dissonant harmony is sounded in the other parts.
Pedal points have a strong tonal effect, 'pulling' the harmony back to its root.. When a pedal point occurs in a voice other than the bass, it is usually referred to as an inverted pedal point (see inversion). Pedal points are usually on either the tonic or the dominant (fifth note of the scale) tones.
