I am wondering if it's possible to have the lyrics added to the songs. I feel it might be easier to learn if they had lyrics included on the sheet music.
Additionally I am having trouble with songs and bootcamp getting accuracy. I find if I play them "off line" without being graded I get through them but when I try doing the same exact lesson or song (as soon as I hit that little arrow to start) I make numerous mistakes, and my fingers at times just won't move to appropriate keys even though I know what they are. I feel so much pressure when trying to complete a lesson or song and be graded. ANY suggestsions for getting past this? and wondering if I am the only one that has encountered these limitations.

Re: Learning songs
I knew all about the fingers disregarding the brain when playing in a "timed" setup. What works for me is to slow the Tempo way down and play against the tempo that I can manage to master, then increase the tempo in small increments. Eventually, I can keep up. Playing accurately at a slow tempo is actually more important for your muscle memory than playing inaccurately at the right tempo. So take it slow and build up to full speed. If you have trouble at the next faster tempo, slow down again and play it through several times, until you aren't making mistakes, then speed up a little bit.

Hi dragonflyspirit,
We used to offer lyrics on the interactive sheet music lessons a long time ago, but we did away with them. They made music very cluttered and difficult to read.
Also, I would follow sw1tch73ch's advice!

Thanks for the suggestion, I will try to be more patient and keep trying at a slower speed.
