2
Find the Song Bank tune you want in the
"Song Bank list" and then enter its two-digit
tune number.
3
Press the START/STOP button.
• This starts playback of the Song Bank tune.
When playback reached the point where
the first melody note should be played, the
key you should press is indicated on the
on-screen keyboard, and the note you
should play is indicated on the on-screen
staff. At this time, playback pauses and
accompaniment stands by, waiting for you
to play the first note. Press the indicated
key to start your practice session.
• Playback of the tune resumes as soon as
you press the indicated keyboard key.
When playback reaches the next melody
note, accompaniment pauses again, and the
on-screen keyboard and staff indicate the
note you should play. Even if you make a
mistake and press the wrong key, the
keyboard plays the correct note.

To stop your practice session, press the
START/STOP or the 3-STEP LESSON button.

point you could start a Step 2 practice
session, if you want.

LESSON button to cycle through the steps

Using Steps 2 and 3

In step 1 of the above procedure, use the 3-STEP
LESSON button cycle through the steps until the
Step 2 or Step 3 indicator is displayed.
• In Step 2, you learn correct keyboard keys you
need to press. The on-screen music staff and
graphic keyboard show you the notes to play and
the keys to press. You can play at your own pace,
even if it is very slow. Both the on-screen
indicators and the accompaniment wait until you
play the correct note. Unlike Step 1,
accompaniment does not restart unless you press
the correct keyboard key. Playback resumes when
you press the correct key, and continues up the
next melody note, where accompaniment pauses
again, and the on-screen keyboard and staff
indicate the note you should play.
• In Step 3, you play along at regular speed. The
on-screen guide indicators and accompaniment
change at normal speed, without waiting for you
to play the correct note.
