Melody Voice Change The PSR-48E lets you play a melody on the keyboard along with each of the songs, either with the original melody voice or one of your own selection.

All of the 75 songs of the PSR-48E can be used with these educational features. 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. I 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. I Lesson 2 -- Waiting In this lesson step, the PSR-48E waits for you to play the correct notes before continuing playback of the song. I 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. I 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.
