Selecting and Playing Songs

The Song mode features 99 special songs that have been created using the rich and dynamic 

sounds of the PSR-202.

The songs are generally for your listening enjoyment; however, you can also play 

along with them on the keyboard.  The songs of the PSR-202 can also be used 

with the powerful Lesson feature (page 34), a convenient tool that makes learning 

songs fun and easy.
