HAVE FUN, GET BETTER

The keyboard features 3-step Lessons that let you practice according to your own personal level, allowing you to practice with just your right hand, or your left hand, or both hands together with the built-in Songs, and practice the same phrases repeatedly as needed. It also evaluates your practice sessions, giving you feedback and even greater practice enjoyment.

3-Step Lesson - Try learning by yourself with the built-in songs on the PSR-E383. Even if you can’t read music or don’t know what keys to play, just practicing along with the three “Listen, learn when the notes sound, and play” steps shown on the keyboard screen will let you take lessons at home and improve on your own.

Keys To Success - The Keys To Success function lets you extract phrases that you need to master the built-in songs and practice them one step at a time. This means that you can concentrate on practicing important phrases and difficult points, making learning songs efficient.

AUTOMATIC BACKING MADE EASY

Simply by playing the root note of a chord (or the full chord), the powerful Style features automatically add rhythm, bass, and chordal backing notes to perfectly match the chords you play—easily allowing you to enjoy playing as if you were performing with an entire backing band. In addition, the Auto Chord Play function lets you automatically produce musically appropriate chord progressions and further expand your musical horizons.

Auto Chord Play - One of the true pleasures of playing a Yamaha digital keyboard is the fun of playing along with the Style auto accompaniment function, which makes it feel like you’re performing with a band even when you’re playing alone. We have prepared a wealth of video lesson content to help make improving your skills quicker and more enjoyable. You can use these instrument-specific lesson videos to make self-learning from home a more dynamic experience.

Smart Chord - Using the Smart Chord function lets you enjoy performing with automatic accompaniment from the Style feature, simply by playing the root note (the very bottom note) of a chord—you don’t even have to play the whole chord!
