Lesson Mode

The Lesson mode feature divides the 88 keys into two zones with the same pitch and voice. This
enables both the student and teacher to easily watch and/or play together during instruction without
having to move away from the piano and take turns or having to reach over each other to play the
same pitch.
Note: In Lesson mode, the Layer and Split modes will be automatically disabled.
To enable or disable Lesson mode, press the Lesson button.
To select a voice for both zones in Lesson mode, press one of the Voice buttons.
To change the split point in Lesson mode, press the Function Menu button repeatedly to cycle
through to the Keyboard Split setting, and then press the -/+ buttons or a key on the piano.
To change the octave of both zones in Lesson mode, use the keys marked Octave + or Octave - to
adjust the octave value. Press both buttons at the same time to restore the default octave setting to
0.
