  • Boost Your Rhythm Skills

    What makes keyboard players happy? Being able to keep up with the rhythm for solo compositions and playing without sheet music. If you have struggled over the years with tempo settings, playing along with pre-recorded music should rapidly boost your rhythm skills. Adjust the tempo settings during practice. Make small increases along the way. In this video the tempo is increased slightly. The melody is based on the chord style from Yamaha and chords F, G, B flat and F in the key of F major. Use the foot pedal if one is available. Thank you for watching.

  • Keyboard Styles for Casio and Kawasaki

    Musical styles are given different names for the Casio SA-76 and Kawasaki  keyboards. Styles are called patterns for the Casio keyboard. Based on the owner's manual definition for the Yamaha E463, styles is a feature dealing with rhythm, bass and chords. Press the "styles" button on the Yamaha keyboard for a list of styles with numbers ranging from 001 to 235. Regarding the Kawasaki, there are rhythm style buttons only. No bass or chords. Just a whole lot of fun learning different instrument sounds with eight rhythm choices and a button for drums while playing or recording. There is a song book for the Casio SA-70 for nine pre-recorded songs. There are demo songs for the Kawasaki, but no song book (to the best of my knowledge). Thank you for watching.
