Intelligent Teaching Function

This function is divided into three parts to guide in learning to play the keyboard. Use the exercise One-Key
to get familiar with the melody and rhythm of a song, use the Follow exercise for accurate playing of the
song notes, and then use the Ensemble exercise to freely play with others.
Teaching 1: One-Key
When the One-Key button is pressed, the One-Key teaching function is enabled, and the screen displays
the number of the current demonstration song for teaching. You can select the song to be learned by
pressing the number button or pressing + or –. One-Key teaching allows for mistakes when playing the
keys, but the keyboard still plays correct notes. The One-Key teaching can be disabled by pressing the
One-Key button again.
Teaching 2: Follow
When the Follow button is pressed, the Follow teaching function is enabled, and the screen displays the
number of the current demonstration song for teaching. You can select the song to be learned by pressing
the number button or pressing + or –. The display will then show the correct note to play and will wait for
you to play it before it moves to the next note. This will continue until the song is finished. The Follow
teaching function can be disabled by pressing the Follow button again.
Teaching 3: Ensemble
When the Ensemble button is pressed, the Ensemble teaching function is enabled, and the screen displays
the number of the current demonstration song for teaching. You can select the song to be learned by
pressing the number button or pressing + or –. The Ensemble teaching is used when you are able to play
the correct song notes. If a note is not played within 3 seconds, the keyboard will automatically play the
correct note. The Ensemble teaching function can be disabled by pressing the Ensemble button again.
