Mastering the Basics

Practicing a Song

Each part of the piano songs on the Music File Disk included with the MT 300s can be
played separately. So, whether you want to play the right-hand part, following along
with the song's right hand; or play the left-hand part, following along the song's right
hand, you can practice each hand's part individually.
The songs on the Music File Disk disk included with the MT 300s are assigned to the
five Track buttons as follows.
