Playing Music with Your Computer Keyboard 117
2 Drag the Musical Typing window below the Fingerstyle Bass track header so that you
can still see the Fingerstyle Bass region in the track and the notes in the Score Editor.
3 Start playback. The notes on the Musical Typing keyboard darken as they are played.
Watch carefully to see the pattern of the notes that are played.
The good news is that I intentionally composed this part so it would be easy to play
and remember. All you have to do is play the middle keys on your computer keyboard
sequentially: A, S, D, F, G, H, J, K, L. They correspond with the musical notes (the first
eight white piano keys) shown on the Musical Typing keyboard: C, D, E, F, G, A, B, C.
4 Stop playback. Press each of the keys on your keyboard in order: A, S, D, F, G, H, J, K, L.
Now that you’ve played the notes, you can practice the timing.
5 Click the Metronome button in the toolbar to turn on the click track.
NOTE
▶
The shortcut K to turn on or off the metronome won’t work when the
Musical Typing window is displayed because K is one of the keyboard keys used to
play music. The same applies to any keyboard shortcuts that consist of a letter without
a modifier key.
