Yamaha PSR-260 1, 2

Song Lesson

Grade

The Lesson feature has a built-in evaluation function that monitors your practicing

of the Lesson songs, and just like a real teacher, it tells you how well you did each

exercise. Four grades are assigned, depending on your performance: “OK,”

“Good,” “Very Good,” and “Excellent.” When the Talking function (page 40) is

on, the PSR-260 also “announces” your grade.

1 Select the Grade function.

Press the [OVERALL] button, repeatedly if necessary, until “GRADE”

appears in the display.

2 Set Grade to on or off as desired.

Use the [+]/[-] buttons to set Grade to on or off.
