Song Lesson; Using The Lesson Feature - Yamaha Portatone PSR-160 Owner's Manual

Song Lesson

The Lesson feature provides an exceptionally fun and easy-to-use way to learn how to read
music and play the keyboard. All of the 100 songs of the PSR-160 can be used with these edu-
cational features. Lesson lets you practice the left- and right-hand parts of each song inde-
pendently, step by step, until you've mastered them and are ready to practice with both hands
together. These practices are divided into four Lesson steps, as described below. Lessons 1 -
3 apply to each hand; press the appropriate button, L (left) or R (right) to select the desired part
for practice.
Lesson 1 — Timing
This lesson step lets you practice just the timing of the notes — any note
can be used, as long as you play in rhythm.
Lesson 2 — Waiting
In this lesson step, the PSR-160 waits for you to play the correct notes
before continuing playback of the song.
Lesson 3 — Minus One
This lesson step plays back the song with one part muted, letting you play
and master the missing part yourself — in rhythm and at the proper tempo.
Lesson 4 — Both Hands
Lesson 4 is a "Minus One" practice essentially the same as Lesson 3,
except that both the left- and right-hand parts are muted — letting you play
and master both hands at the same time.
