Improve your playing skills — with Song Lesson!
Do you have a song you’ve always wanted to play? The built-in Lesson features of
the instrument make it easy and fun to master your favorite tunes.
You can learn on your own at your own pace, practicing the right and left hand parts
separately, and gradually improving your skills starting with easy-to-learn songs.
Don’t worry if you have trouble reading music—the sounds and the display will
guide you to play correctly.
Try it out now!
Here’s how the Lessons progress:
■ Lesson 1 — practicing the timing : Practice only the timing. Any note is fine.
■ Lesson 2 — playing the correct notes : Practice playing the correct notes. Don’t worry about the timing.
■ Lesson 3 — practicing with only one hand : Practice playing with only one hand (left or right) along with
the accompaniment.
■ Lesson 4 — playing with both hands : Practice playing the song with both hands.
• While the Lesson feature is active, the [KARAOKE] and [SCORE] buttons cannot be used.
•If you’ve selected a song of the Chord Lesson category and are practicing a left-hand only lesson, the melody is shown in the notation
part of the display and the indication of how to play the chord is shown in the keyboard part of the display.
Start out with Lesson 1 — practicing the timing
As you work through the Lesson, play the keys in the melody range with your right hand and play the
keys in the accompaniment section with your left, as shown below.
Any keys are fine, as long as you play within the range. Make sure to play in time with the rhythm.

If you want to practice the right-hand part, press the [LESSON R] button. If you
want to practice the left, press the [LESSON L] button.
Each press of the button steps through the Lessons in order: Lesson 1 → Lesson
