Two-hand Tunes (Piano Bank)
These types of tunes are played with both hands, as in a piano
solo. When using these tunes for a 3-step lesson, you can
practice playing along with both the left hand and right hand
parts.
Key Lighting System Operation and
Display Contents During 3-step
Lesson Play
Whenever you select an Auto Accompaniment tune for 3-
step lesson play, the key lighting system shows you which
keys to press, while the display shows you the notes and their
fingerings.
Note Pitch
The keyboard key that should be pressed lights, while the
actual pitch of the note appears in the display’s staff notation
area. The fingers you should use to play the notes are also
shown on the display.
Note Length
Keyboard keys stay lit for as long as the note should be
played. The staff notation and fingerings also remain on the
display for the length of the note.
Next Note
The keyboard key for the next note to be played flashes, while
a number appears on the display near the finger you should
use to play the next note.
Series of Same Pitch Notes
The keyboard key light turns off momentarily between the
notes and lights again for each successive note. The staff
notation and fingerings also turn off and back on again.
3-Step Lesson
The 3-step lesson feature takes you through the three distinct
steps described below to help you learn to play tunes on the
keyboard.
Step 1 – Master the timing.
In this step, pressing any key on the keyboard plays the
correct note, so you can concentrate on getting the timing
right without worrying about playing the right note.
Accompaniment (left-hand part) waits until you press a key
before proceeding to the next phrase.
Step 2 – Master the notes.
In this step, you use the display to learn which fingers you
should use and how loud or soft to play, and the key light
system to learn which keyboard keys to press.
Accompaniment (left-hand part) waits until your play the
correct note, so you can learn at your own pace.
Step 3 – Play at normal speed.
This is where you enjoy actually playing the tunes you learn
using Step 1 and Step 2. The key light system still shows you
which keyboard keys to press, but accompaniment proceeds
at normal speed regardless of whether or not you play the
correct notes.
Tune Types and Their Parts
The built-in tunes of this keyboard are divided between two
basic groups: Auto Accompaniment tunes (Song Bank) and
two-hand accompaniment tunes (Piano Bank). The parts
available for 3-step lesson practice depend on the type of tune
you are using.
Auto Accompaniment Tunes (Song Bank)
As their name suggests, these tunes are made up of an Auto
Accompaniment part and a melody part. When using these
tunes for a 3-step lesson, you can practice playing along with
the melody (right hand) part only.
Advanced 3-Step Lesson
642A-E-028A
With the Advanced 3-Step Lesson System, you can practice
the built-in tunes and even plot your progress according to
the evaluation points the keyboard awards you.
The 3-Step Lesson System lets you practice at your own pace.
Fingerings and notes appear on the keyboard’s display, and
the keys you should press light up on the keyboard to help
you on your way to keyboard mastery.
With the Evaluation Mode, you can get an idea of how much
you are progressing. You can even find out what phrases in
your performance need more work and concentrate your
practice there.
