3-Step Lesson System
Using 3-Step Lesson System
Even individuals who cannot play the keyboard at all can
follow along with the 100 built-in Song Bank tunes with the
ONE KEY PLAY buttons. You can also use the 3-Step Lesson
System to learn at your own pace. Play slowly at first until
you are able to play along at normal speed.
Of the 100 built-in tunes, numbers 00 through 83 feature auto-
accompaniment (auto-accompaniment tunes), while 84
through 99 are played using both hands (two-hand tunes).
The 3-Step Lesson System can be used with the following 3-
step lesson plan to master keyboard play.
Step 1: Master the timing
Pressing the ONE KEY PLAY buttons plays the
melody for an auto-accompaniment tune or the right
hand part for two-hand tunes. In both cases, the auto-
accompaniment (the left hand part in the case of two-
hand tunes) is played automatically by the keyboard.
In place of the ONE KEY PLAY buttons, you can also
press any key of the keyboard to play the melody or
right hand part. The purpose of this step is to
familiarize yourself with the timing required to play
melody notes.
Step 2: Master the melody
In this step, you use the display to learn which fingers
you should use to play, and the key light system to
learn which keyboard keys to press. You can play at
the pace you want, because the auto-accompaniment
or left hand part waits until you press the correct key.
Step 3: Play at normal speed
At this level, the keyboard's keys still light to indicate
which notes to play, but they no longer wait for you
to press the correct key. The auto-accompaniment or
left hand part is played at normal speed.
