The track number of the song can be specified in the Function mode (page 76). 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. 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. · The melody note does not sound unless your playing is in time with the rhythm. 1 2 Select one of the Lesson songs.

After the lead-in, the song starts automatically, and the appropriate notes appear in the display. In Lesson 1, simply play one note repeatedly in time with the music. Regarding chords and the use of the left hand, the PSR-292 actually has two different types of songs: 1) songs with normal left-hand chords, and 2) songs in which the left hand plays arpeggios or 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.
