The musics to be learned are stored on so-called PlayCards, those show the musical score and have a strip of magnetic tape on their lower edge that stores the music data, much like nowadays MIDI files.
To read the data, the card is simply moved by hand from right to left through a slot on the instrument top, which only takes a second (extremely fast in comparison to that time's homecomputer datasette tapes and diskettes)
