5. Using the Lesson Function
The CA piano’s Lesson function helps you practice the piano with either a collection of etudes from Czerny,
Burgmuller, and others or songs from Alfred’s Basic and Premier Piano lesson books (USA, Canada, UK, AU
only). In addition to the etudes or songs, basic fi nger exercises and a companion music book are also provided.
You can listen to any etude, song, or the fi nger exercises and practice along with them. You may practice each
hand separately at various tempos, and even record your practice. The lesson function can also evaluate your re-
corded performances for note accuracy, timing, and evenness of playing to help you further improve your skills.
