Playing Along with the Clavinova

In this section, try using the Clavinova’s song playback features to cancel or mute the right-hand melody while you play
the part yourself. It’s like having a very talented and versatile playing partner accompany you while you perform.
If you haven't yet mastered the melody part, take a look at the section “Mastering Your Favorite Songs” on page 38, and
practice it a while.
