The Yamaha Education Suite includes:

●

Lesson ............................. page 34

The convenient and easy-to-use Lesson feature, guides you through the parts of a song — just like a

patient teacher! Select from any one of 100 songs on the PSR-262, and learn the left- and right-hand

song: Timing, Waiting, Minus One, and Both Hands.

practice sessions and rating your performance. The convenient Talking function “announces” each

Lesson step and your “grades,” among other things.

●

Dictionary ............................. page 41

Dictionary is a built-in “chord encyclopedia” that teaches you how to play speciﬁc chords by showing

quickly learn how to play it!
