The Easy Way to Play Piano
This instrument includes a performance assistant technology feature
that lets you play along with a song and sound like a great pianist (even
though you might be making lots of mistakes)! In fact, you can play any
notes and still sound good! You could even just tap one key and the
results would be a beautiful melody. So even if you can’t play piano and
can’t read a note of music, you can have some musical fun.
Performance assistant technology offers four selectable types. Select the type that produces the best results
for you.
● Chord
...................... No matter where or what you play, the result will be musical, well-bal-
anced sound. This type offers the greatest freedom, allowing you to play
anything with both your left and right hands.
● Chord/Free
........... If you can play simple right-hand melodies but have trouble with left-
hand chords, this is the type for you. The Chord type applies to only the
left-hand section of the keyboard, allowing you to easily play chords to
support the melody you are playing with your right hand.
● Melody
................... This type lets you play the melody of the selected song by playing any
keys with just one finger. Start playing melodies right away, even if you’ve
never played a keyboard instrument before!
● Chord/Melody
.... Play the melody of the selected song with one finger on the right-hand
section of the keyboard, and play chords on the left-hand section of the
keyboard using the Chord type.
Refer to page 48 for more information on using performance assistant technology to help you play.
