Listen to the Tutorial. This will give you an idea of how the program works.

 

When using Home Version, you will not be connected to the internet. All lesson homeworks will be done offline. NEVER update your files. You are not downloading any information from your instructor. Click on Cancel if this menu appears.

 

You are now at a blue screen which has the word Lessons in red. This is called the exercise and activity screen. You have arrived at Lesson 1, and all the exercises are listed. You will complete the exercises in the order they are presented. When an exercise is completed, the circle to the left of the exercise will be filled in and appear navy in color. You may exit a lesson at any time and return to where you left off. The program automatically bookmarks for you. Enjoy the course.

 

Please, don’t look at your fingers. Twenty percent of your grade is on technique. You should not have more than 5 errors in an exercise at the beginning. If you do, redo the exercise. You may redo an exercise as many times as you like. Repeat until you feel comfortable with the new keys. Your objective is to learn these keys without looking—trust me—it works.
