When do you use the right piano pedal?

The right pedal on a piano is called the damper pedal. When you press down on the damper pedal, you raise (or lift) the felt dampers off the strings. Any notes that are being played at the time the damper pedal is depressed will continue to resonate. Using this pedal raises the dampers for the entire piano regardless of what notes have been played, so a skillful pianist can make use of the added resonance you get when all strings are open to vibrate whether or not their note has been played.The danger for most young piano students is to badly over-use the pedal (because it may sound to the student like playing the pedal is adding volume or substance to the sound when in fact it is only creating a muddy sound) or not to use it at all, making lines sound choppy.It is probably best although not necessarily easiest for students to learn early on to create lines as much as possible by working out fingering, so that the pedal is not relied upon to compensate for lazy technique. Then the student can learn to use the pedal for much more beautiful effects.

What effect does pressing the left hand pedal on the piano have?

The left hand pedal on a piano is the soft pedal, it softens the sound (makes it quieter) by pressing the dampers (pads that rest against the strings to stop the sound from ringing) harder against the strings. The right pedal which is called the damper pedal releases the dampers from the strings, causing the notes to be sustained. The middle pedal is called a "Sostenuto Pedal" and it removes the dampers from the only the notes that are played when the pedal is depressed, therefore sustaining some and not others.

How does a piano makes it sound?

A piano makes its sound by a hammer striking a corresponding string. When a key is pressed, a hammer goes up and strikes a string, making it vibrate. The vibration is dampened by a damper, which presses felt onto the string causing the vibration to stop. The vibration can be sustained using the sustain pedal (or damper pedal) which keeps the dampers up while a note is played, allowing it to vibrate until the sound fades away. The left piano pedal is called the soft pedal (or una corda) which shifts the entire action sideways in order to "soften" the sound. Some piano's have a third middle pedal and some Fazioli pianos have four.
