Lesson function
The FKB-180 has a built-in lesson function that makes it possible to learn to play easy as
well as more complex well-known songs. It's possible to focus lessons on the left hand or
right hand parts only.
Before you can start the lesson function, you need to press the 'Song' button. This will start
a song which you can stop by pressing the 'Start/stop' button. Now press the 'Lesson'
button. The word Lesson will then appear above the hands shown on the bottom right.
Three different Lesson modes can be chosen by pressing the Lesson button multiple times.
At the end of each lesson, feedback will be given by the virtual teacher. This will either be
'OK', 'Good', 'Very Good!' or 'Excellent!'. This feedback is designed to encourage players to
improve.
Lesson 1:
This lesson mode is designed to help those who want to practise their timing.
In lesson 1, it's not so important which key you press, but it must be played at the right time
to match the beat of the music that is being played. It's possible to focus the lesson on the
right or left hands only. If you choose to focus on the right hand only, that part will not be
played so that you can do it yourself. If you choose to focus on the left hand only, that part
will not be played so that you can do it yourself. If you choose to focus on both hands,
neither part will be played so that you can do it yourself. Again, it's not so important which
keys you press in this mode, but they must be played at the right time to match the beat of
the music that is being played.
Lesson 2:
In Lesson 2, it's more important to play the correct note or chord. Whenever a mistake is
made, the music will stop until the correct note or chord is played. As soon as it is, the song
will continue. It's also possible here to focus the lesson on the right or left hands only, so
that you can play those parts yourself.
Lesson 3:
In Lesson 3, it's even more important to play the correct note or chord. In this mode,
assistance is turned off which means it's entirely up to the keyboard player to play the
correct notes or chords at the right time to match the beat of the music that is being played.
Playing along with own music
It's possible to play along with your own music by inserting a USB stick with MP3 files into
the keyboard's USB port on the back. Using the MP3 navigation keys, which can found be
underneath the display, you can select the track you want to play along with. This gives you
many more possibilities in addition to the built-in songs.
Note that the lesson functions do not work with your own music.
