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.
The note is played somewhat louder or more forcefully than a note with a regular accent mark (open horizontal wedge). In organ notation, this denotes that a pedal note is to be played with the toe (when above the note, use right foot; when below the note, use left foot).
