Using the Song Lesson Feature
Use these convenient features to practice the preset Songs and improve your playing
skills. The Lessons are arranged for optimum, enjoyable learning, so select the one
suitable for you and take your keyboard skills higher, step by step.
You can select just the key phrases of the Song—the ones you like most or need to work on—and practice them
one by one. This lesson is ideal for beginning players.
Each Song consists of several Steps. Each time you play all the way through the current Step, your performance
will be evaluated. A score of “60” or more indicates that you passed this Step and you should try the next Step,
which begins automatically.
The passing status
★ is saved, but you can go on to next Step even when you didn’t pass the Step, or you can
retry the Step later.
You can practice two or more phrases at once repeatedly by speci-
fying them, as desired. This is ideal as a finishing practice before
you try a last (finishing) Step to pass in the Keys to Success mode,
or when you just want to practice the difficult phrase(s) repeatedly.
You can practice the preset Songs in three steps, independently for the right or left hand, or both hands
together. This is ideal when you want to practice all the way through the Song with the selected part.
Lesson 1 (Listening) ....... Listen to the playback part you will play. Remember it as best as you can.
Lesson 2 (Timing) ........... Learn to play the notes with the correct timing. Even if you play wrong notes,
the correct notes will sound.
Lesson 3 (Waiting) .......... Learn to play the correct notes. The Song pauses until you play the right note.
You can combine the Keys to Success lesson (page 36) and Phrase Repeat lesson (page 38) with the Listening,
Timing or Waiting lesson (page 40). If you feel it difficult to play the specific phrase in the Keys to Success les-
son, use Listening, Timing or Waiting lesson to listen to the phrase, to practice only the timing to play, or to let
the phrase pause until you play the correct notes.
You can refer to the music score in the Song Book (free downloadable scores). To obtain the Song Book,
access the Yamaha website and download it from the product web page.
