The PSR-175 features the new Yamaha Education Suite — a set of learning tools that utilize the latest
technology to make studying and practicing music more fun and fulfilling than ever before!
The Yamaha Education Suite includes:
Lesson
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-175, and learn the left- and right-

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

your practice sessions and rating your performance. The convenient Talking function “announces”
each Lesson step and your “grades,” among other things.
