The keyboard’s lesson mode helps you
follow along with any of the prerecorded
tunes, even if you have no experience
playing a keyboard. The keyboard lets you
play along with one finger at first, then use
normal fingering at a slow tempo, then finally
normal fingering at full speed.

The prerecorded tune numbers 00 through
84 contain the accompaniment part, and
tune numbers 85 through 99 are for two-
handed play.

After a count sounds (and the intro
measures if the selected tune has intro
measures), the keyboard waits for you
to play the first note. Press the keys as
they light. The accompaniment (left
hand) part of the tune follows along as
you play the melody (right hand) part.
You can play at the pace you want, as
the auto-accompaniment or left hand
part waits until you press the correct
key. The key for the next note flashes,
and lights when you play the note.

In the Normal Play mode (Step 3), the
applicable key remains lit as long as its
note plays. The key for the next note to
be played does not flash. Keys light
when their notes start to play.

note and other notes that form the
chord alternately light. For example,
for the chord C-E-G, the C key and
E/G keys light alternately.

that cannot be played with the
FINGERED setting. In the
FINGERED mode, even if you finger
the chords according to the keys that
are lit, chords might sound differently
from the ones produced during demo
play.

Using Lesson Mode
• When using a two-hand tune, the note
lengths are not indicated in easy play and
slow play modes (Step 1 and Step 2). The
key light goes out as soon as you press the
correct key and the next note’s key flashes.
• You might not be able to see the keyboard
keys light under direct sunlight or in other
brightly lit areas.
• You can also press any key on the
keyboard instead of ONE KEY PLAY. You
do not have to worry about pressing the
correct key, just concentrate on pressing
the key in time.
• The rhythm (percussion) part does not
sound during slow play.
• Up to four keyboard keys can be lit at the
same time.
• When using an auto-accompaniment tune,
the lights indicate which note to play and
how long that note should be played. A key
with a steady light is the one you should
play, and it stays lit for as long as the note
should last. A key with a flashing light
indicates the next note you play.
• When a key light goes out momentarily then
lights again, it indicates that the same note
should be played in succession.
Playing the Left Hand Part
• PART SELECT works only in lesson mode.
• To check which part is active now, press
STEP 3. The keys at either end light to
show you the current mode setting. Press
STEP 1 or STEP 2 to return to the level you
want, if necessary.
