Well Tutorial1 is a horrible start for anyone and shame on Cakewalk for not updating it.
Tutorial1 was written when most users had real synths and keyboards. Now most people use softsynths and so they need to update the tutorial. Here's my version of it:
Sonar Home Studio comes with the Roland TTS-1 and a few other softsynths. Load Tutorial1.cwp and follow these instructions:
1) View-Synth Rack
2) Click the Insert DXi button (looks like an asterisk)
3) Click on TTS-1 - Check First Synth Output and Synth Property Page checkboxes
4) Edit Select All (to select all tracks)
5) Track-Property-Output
6) Select TTS-1 from the MIDI Outputs pulldown (that makes the TTS-1 the output for all MIDI tracks)
7) Hit play
