Three Step Lesson System
■Using Three Step Lesson System
Even individuals who cannot play the keyboard at all can follow along with the 100 built-in Song Bank tunes with the ONE KEY PLAY buttons. You can also use the Three Step Lesson System to learn at your own pace. Play slowly at first until you are able to play along at normal speed.
Of the 100 built-in tunes, numbers 00 through 84 feature auto-accompaniment (auto- accompaniment tunes), while 85 through 99 are played using both hands (two-hand tunes).
The Three Step Lesson System can be used with the following three-step lesson plan to master keyboard play.
Step 1: Easy Play
Pressing the ONE KEY PLAY buttons plays the melody for an auto-accompaniment tune or the right hand part for two-hand tunes. In both cases, the auto- accompaniment (the right hand part in the case of two-hand tunes) is played automatically by the keyboard. In place of the ONE KEY PLAY buttons, you can also press any key of the keyboard to play the melody or right hand part. The purpose of this step is to familiarize yourself with the timing required to play melody notes.
Step 2: Slow Play
Press the keys that light as they teach you the correct notes to play. You can play at the pace you want, because the auto-accompaniment or left hand part waits until you press the correct key.
Step 3: Normal Play
At this level, the keyboard’s keys still light to indicate which notes to play, but they no longer wait for you to press the correct key. The auto-accompaniment or left hand part is played at normal speed.
Notes
•You may not be able to see the keyboard keys light under direct sunlight or in other brightly lit areas.
•You can press the ONE KEY PLAY, STEP 1, STEP 2, and STEP 3 buttons at any time, except while a demo tune is playing. To return the keyboard to its normal mode, press the SONG BANK button.
