Performing
If you’re playing along with a song, you can sound a count to make it easier to
synchronize your own playing with the song. A “count-in” is a count that is sounded
before the song begins to play. A “count-down” is a count that is sounded at the end of
the song’s introduction (before you begin playing the keyboard).
