The Easy Way To Play Piano

Quick Guide

This instrument includes a performance assistant technology feature that lets you play along with a song and sound like a great pianist (even though you might be making lots of mistakes)! In fact, you can play any notes and still sound good! So even if you can’t play piano and can’t read a note of music, you can have some musical fun.

The secret to the performance assistant technology’s ability to turn random playing into music is divulged on page 16. Enjoy the feature for a while first, then read about how its done.
