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
STYLE
: the rhythm of the song
TEMPO
: the speed of the song
SONG
: The song number recorded on the keyboard
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 FINGER CHORD
: the easy chords for song accompaniment
FINGER 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 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”.
The instructions (meaning squares with letters) are found under this strip in order to use your left hand to play the
accompaniment chords.
