Song Lesson
The Lesson feature provides an exceptionally fun and easy-to-use way to learn how to read
music and play the keyboard. There are a total of 100 Lesson songs (Songs 001 to 100), spe-
cially designed for use with the educational features. Lesson lets you practice the left- and
right-hand parts of each song independently, step by step, until you’ve mastered them and are
ready to practice with both hands together. These practices are divided into four Lesson
steps, as described below. Lessons 1 - 3 apply to each hand; press the appropriate button, [L]
(left) or [R] (right) to select the desired part for practice.
■
Lesson 1 — Timing
This lesson step lets you practice just the timing of the notes — any note
can be used, as long as you play in rhythm.
■
Lesson 2 — Waiting
In this lesson step, the PSR-282 waits for you to play the correct notes
before continuing playback of the song.
■
Lesson 3 — Minus One
This lesson step plays back the song with one part muted, letting you play
and master the missing part yourself — in rhythm and at the proper tempo.
■
Lesson 4 — Both Hands
Lesson 4 is a “Minus One” practice essentially the same as Lesson 3,
except that both the left- and right-hand parts are muted — letting you play
and master both hands at the same time.
