Step 2: Master the melody

With Step 2 you have to play the note that the 3-Step Lesson System indicates. But don’t worry - the accompaniment (left hand part) waits until you can play the correct note before continuing. This means you can take your time and play at your own pace.

1. Press the STEP 2 button.

When you do, the STEP 2 indicator appears.

After a count sounds, the keyboard stands by and waits for you to play the first note of the tune. If the tune includes intro measures, the keyboard enters standby after the intro measures are complete.

2. Play the notes indicated by the 3-Step Lesson System.

The accompaniment (left hand) part of the tune follows along as you play the melody (right hand) part.

The keyboard key that corresponds to the next note to be played flashes, and lights when you play the note.

The rhythm (percussion) part does not sound.

Press keyboard keys as they light. More than one key may light when you are playing a two-hand tune. Press all keys that light.

3. To stop play at any time, press the START/STOP button.

When you do, the STEP 2 indicator goes out.

Step 3: Play at normal speed

Step 3 also shows you which notes to play, but unlike Step 2, it does not wait for you to press the key. The accompaniment part is played at normal speed, no matter what you play (or don’t play) on the keyboard.

1. Press the STEP 3 button.

When you do, the STEP 3 indicator appears.

Play starts after a count sounds.

2. Play along on the keyboard, following the keys as they light.

The accompaniment (left hand) part of the tune plays at normal speed, regardless of what you play on the keyboard.

With an auto-accompaniment tune, the keyboard key that corresponds to the next note to be played flashes, and lights when the note should be played.

With a two-hand tune, the applicable keyboard key remains lit as long as its note plays. In this case, however, the key for the next note to be played does not flash. Keys light when their notes start to play.

3. To stop play at any time, press the START/STOP button.

When you do, the STEP 3 indicator goes out.
