I have a WK-220 casio keyboard that my child is using to learn piano. She has received a CD from her instructor that has some songs in it. These songs when played on a laptop or phone plays multiple instruments. She has sheet music/notes for each of these songs. She usually learns 3-4 songs/week and then practices them at home. She usually practices them with the metronome and after she's comfortable with the speed for each song, I play the song on my laptop or phone while she plays it on the keyboard (reading the notes in her book). My question to the group is with respect to these songs.
Can we put these songs on the keyboard (in its memory) so that she can play along with them while playing the keys on the piano? If yes, how to do that? I have the songs in mp3 format from the CD. These songs are written/composed by my child's instructor.
I have tried to convert these songs from mp3 to midi and then from midi to SMF using the casio software and then transfer them into the user songs area using the datamanager 5.0 via a usb midi cable. I can select the song on the keyboard using the songbank but it doesn't play. I hear nothing after i select the song and then hit the start/stop button. May be this is not correct.
Is it possible to play these songs on the keyboard (in the background) while we play the keys on the piano?
Thank you.
