Basically, above the numbers you will notice a sequence
of alternating black and grey sections within the grey
strip. The distance between one black section and
another represents the unit of musical 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”.

To play the melody, read the sequence of numbers contai-
ned in the grey band and press, one after the other, the
white keys which correspond to the same numbers on the
