For the piano demo songs, you can select either the right or left hand part to be played by the
demo; you can also turn down the volume of the remaining part so that you can play along.

ton in the "Demo Group," and use the "Song name" cell to select the song.

If you find the song difficult, you can play it back at a slower tempo so that you can play along
more comfortably.
