Hello new member as of today. I hope to learn about my Yamaha keyboard from you. I am an average piano player with about 8 years of lessons but reading fake sheets is my passion. I really would love to learn to play more by ear too. I am a 76 year old lady who still plays often the piano in my assisted living for the other residents. They love the old songs and I want to learn more about my keyboard to sound more fun for them. SANDY B...HOPE ELDERS ARE WELCOME ON THIS FORUM. My love of piano , keyboards is ageless to me. I never feel old when I play.
Hello and hope to learn from all of you about my Yamaha keyboard.

The keyboard is an old PSR 225 but only used about 20 times and still very good to use. I want to learn how to use the back ups that I can make like a band. Also make my own backups later? SANDY B

Hi Sandy B,
By "backup" I think you mean "backing". In Yamaha-land they call it "style".
Using them is easy - and fake sheets are perfect. Essentially your right hand plays the melody on the staff, and your left hand plays the chord on the "accompaniment" (lower third usually) of the keyboard.
