Select a Song For a Lesson
Yamaha Education Suite 4
You can select any song you like and use it for a left-hand, right-hand,
or both-hands lesson. You can also use songs (only SMF format 0)
downloaded from the Internet and saved to flash memory. During the
lesson you can play as slowly as you like, and you can even play wrong
notes. Song playback will slow down to a speed you can handle.
It’s never too late to start learning!
The lesson procedure is as follows:
●
Lesson 1 ........... (Learn to play the correct notes): The song will wait until you play the right note.
●
Lesson 2 ........... (Learn to play the correct notes with the correct timing): Song playback tempo will vary to match the speed
you are playing at. The song will slow down when you play wrong notes, so you can learn at your own pace.
●
Lesson 3 ........... (Learn to play the correct notes at the correct timing along with the song): here’s where you can perfect your
technique.
Only songs in SMF Format 0 can be used for practice. You need to specify which channels are to be played back as the
right/left-hand parts when you practice using songs downloaded from the Internet (page 69).
