To begin, try to feel the rhythm of the song. Then, with your hands spread as
shown in the illustration, simply play the keyboard alternately with your left and
right hands (any notes will do).
How does it sound? You'll get acceptable results no matter where you play
thanks to the performance assistant technology Chord type!
Next try the three playing methods illustrated below. Different ways of playing
produce different results.
● Play with the left and right hands
at the same timing – type 1.
Play 3 notes at once
with your right hand.
Once you get a feel for it, try playing chords with your left hand and a melody
with your right ... or any other combination.
Song playback will stop automatically when the song has played all the way
through.
You can also stop playback at any time by pressing the [START/STOP] button.
"ON" will appear when the perfor-
mance assistant technology is on.
Pressing the [PERFORMANCE
ASSISTANT] button alternates
between "ON" and "OFF." Make sure
this is "ON" when you intend to use
the performance assistant technology.

playing the right
notes!
● Play with the left and right hands
at the same timing – type 2.
Play 1 note at a time with your right
hand (for example: index finger → mid-
dle finger → ring finger).
