Song Lesson
38
Lesson 1 — Timing
This lesson step lets you practice just the timing of the notes — any note can be
used, as long as you play in rhythm. Pick a note to play. For the left hand, use a
note in the auto accompaniment area or play the appropriate left-hand note; for
the right, play a note above F#2. Simply concentrate on playing each note in time
with the rhythmic accompaniment.
1 Select one of the songs.
2 Select Lesson 1.
Press the [L] or [R] button (repeatedly, if necessary) until Lesson 1 is
announced.
3 Play the appropriate melody or chord with the song.
After the lead-in, the song starts automatically, and the appropriate keys
light. In Lesson 1, simply play one note repeatedly in time with the music.
Regarding chords and the use of the left hand, the EZ-150 actually has two
different types of songs: 1) songs with normal left-hand chords, and 2) songs
in which the left hand plays melodic figures in combination with the right.
In the case of the first type, play the chords with your left hand in the auto
accompaniment area of the keyboard.
In the case of the second type, play the left-hand part with the same timing as
the melody.
The melody note does not sound
unless your playing is in time with
the rhythm.
Make sure to turn on the Light
Guide and Talking function when
using the Lesson.
