5. Lesson Function
The CA61 piano’s Lesson function helps you practice the piano using songs from Alfred’s Basic and Premier Piano
lesson books. In addition, basic fi nger exercises and a companion music book are also provided.
You can listen to any song or fi nger exercise and practice along with them. You may practice each hand separately at
various tempos, and even record your practice. The lesson function can also evaluate your recorded performances
for note accuracy, timing, and evenness of playing to help you further improve your skills.
