Song Lesson

The Lesson feature provides an exceptionally fun and easy-to-use way to learn how to read
music and play the keyboard. Lesson lets you practice the left- and right-hand parts of each
song independently, step by step, until you’ve mastered them and are ready to practice with
both hands together. These practices are divided into four Lesson steps, as described below.
Lessons 1 - 3 apply to each hand; press the appropriate button, [L] (left) or [R] (right) to select
the desired part for practice.

Naturally, you can also use Song data you’ve loaded from computer with the Lesson fea-
tures.

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.

Lesson 2 — Waiting

In this lesson step, the DGX-202 waits for you to play the correct notes
before continuing playback of the song.

Lesson 3 — Minus One

This lesson step plays back the song with one part muted, letting you play
and master the missing part yourself — in rhythm and at the proper tempo.

Lesson 4 — Both Hands

Lesson 4 is a “Minus One” practice essentially the same as Lesson 3,
except that both the left- and right-hand parts are muted — letting you play
and master both hands at the same time.
