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.
