Keys To Success
You can select just the key phrases of the Song—the ones you like most or need to work on—and practice them
one by one. This lesson is ideal for beginning players.
Select the
Song you want
to learn.
Each Song consists of several Steps. Each time you play all the way through the current Step, your performance
will be evaluated. A score of "60" or more indicates that you passed this Step and you should try the next Step,
which begins automatically.
★
The passing status
can retry the Step later.
Phrase Repeat
You can practice two or more phrases at once repeatedly by speci-
fying them, as desired. This is ideal as a finishing practice before
you try a last (finishing) Step to pass in the Keys to Success mode,
or when you just want to practice the difficult phrase(s) repeatedly.
Listening, Timing and Waiting
You can practice the preset Songs in three steps, independently for the right or left hand, or both hands
together. This is ideal when you want to practice all the way through the Song with the selected part.
 Lesson 1 (Listening) ....... Listen to the playback part you will play. Remember it as best as you can.
 Lesson 2 (Timing) ........... Learn to play the notes with the correct timing. Even if you play wrong notes,
 Lesson 3 (Waiting) .......... Learn to play the correct notes. The Song pauses until you play the right note.
Select the Song you
want to learn.
You can combine the Keys to Success lesson (page 37) with the Listening, Timing or Waiting lesson (page 40).
If you feel it difficult to play the specific phrase in the Keys to Success lesson, use the Listening, Timing or Wait-
ing lesson to listen to the phrase, to practice only the timing to play, or to let the phrase pause until you play the
correct notes.
The passing status is not shown when the selected lesson playback starts in the Keys to Success mode.
