3-Step Lesson

The 3-step lesson feature takes you through the three distinct steps described below to help you learn to play tunes on the keyboard.

Step 1 – Master the timing.

In this step, pressing any key on the keyboard plays the correct note, so you can concentrate on getting the timing right without worrying about playing the right note. Accompaniment (left-hand part) waits until you press a key before proceeding to the next phrase.

Step 2 – Master the notes.

In this step, you use the display to learn which fingers you should use and how loud or soft to play, and the key light system to learn which keyboard keys to press. Accompaniment (left-hand part) waits until your play the correct note, so you can learn at your own pace.

Step 3 – Play at normal speed.

This is where you enjoy actually playing the tunes you learn using Step 1 and Step 2. The key light system still shows you which keyboard keys to press, but accompaniment proceeds at normal speed regardless of whether or not you play the correct notes.

Tune Types and Their Parts

Auto-accompaniment Tunes (Tune Numbers 00 to 49)

As their name suggests, these tunes are made up of an Auto Accompaniment part and a melody part. When using these tunes for a 3-step lesson, you can practice playing along with the melody (right hand) part only.

Piano Solo Tunes (Tune Numbers 50 to 59)

These types of tunes are played with both hands, as in a piano solo. When using these tunes for a 3-step lesson, you can practice playing along with both the left hand and right hand parts.

NOTE

The selected Song Bank tune continues to repeat until you stop playback by pressing the START/STOP button.

Chord names are not displayed during playback of Piano Solo tunes.
