SONGS
COMPOSING A SONG
Each song is printed on a separate page.
Under the title there is information regarding:
SOUND: the sound needed to create the tune
RHYTHM: the rhythm of the song
TEMPO: the speed of the song
You can use this information to configure the keyboard and play the song at its best. This manual tells you how
to select sound, rhythm and tempo.
The song also indicates:
SINGLE CHORD: the easy chords for song accompaniment
CLASSIC CHORD: the classic chords for song accompaniment
The song is marked by a continuous grey strip that indicates the numbers used to play the melody with your
right hand. Each key must be pressed for some time, depending on the distance that separates each number on
the grey strip from the next.
Basically, above the numbers you will notice a sequence of alter-
nating black and grey sections within the grey strip. The distance
between one black section and another represents the unit of musi-
cal time known as “beat”, which corresponds to the movement of the
metronome pointer from one end to the other. Every black and grey
section represents a half “beat”.
The instructions (meaning squares with letters) are found under this strip in order to use your left hand to play
the accompaniment chords.
