Quick Guide
Using the Song Lesson Feature
You can use the selected Song for a left-hand, right-hand, or both-hands lesson. Try
practicing with these three Song Lesson types while referring to the music scores in
the Song Book downloaded from the website (page 11).
Lesson Types
 Lesson 1 (LISTEN): You do not need to play the keyboard. The model melody/chords of the selected part
will sound. Listen to it carefully and remember it as best as you can.
 Lesson 2 (TIMING): Simply concentrate on playing the notes with the correct timing. Even if you play
wrong notes, the correct notes will sound.
 Lesson 3 (WAITING): Try playing the correct notes shown on the display. The Song pauses until you play
the right note, and playback tempo will change to match the speed at which you are playing.

end, check your evaluation Grade on the
display.
In lesson 2 (TIMING) and 3 (WAITING), when the
Song reaches to the end, your performance will
be evaluated in four levels: “Excellent!”, “Very
Good!”, “Good”, “OK”. “Excellent!” is the highest
evaluation.
After the evaluation display is shown, the lesson
will start again from the beginning.
• If you want to maintain a steady playback tempo during Lesson 3, change the parameter in the Function Settings (page 61, Function
064).
NOTE
• The Song Lesson can be applied to Songs transferred
from a computer, and Songs in USB flash drive. How-
ever, some of the Lesson functions may not be applied
to some Songs due to the structure of the Song data.
• The Song Lesson cannot be applied to the User Songs
and the Songs other than SMF format 0.
