Playing with Concert Magic

4. PLAYING WITH CONCERT MAGIC

The great German composer Johann Sebastian Bach once said, “Playing the keyboard is simple. Just strike the right keys at the right time.” Many people wish it were that simple. The reality is very different of course. However, there is a way to make playing the keyboard very simple. You don’t even have to strike the right keys thanks to Concert Magic.

With CONCERT MAGIC, absolutely anyone can sit at the CN piano and make real music… even if you’ve never taken a piano lesson in your life. To enjoy performing by yourself, you have only to select your favorite piece from 88 preprogrammed songs and tap any of the 88 piano keys with a steady rhythm and tempo. CONCERT MAGIC will provide the correct melody and accompaniment notes, regardless of which keys you press. Anybody, young or old, can enjoy CONCERT MAGIC from the moment they sit down at the CN piano.

Now let’s see how CONCERT MAGIC works.

4.1SELECTING A SONG

The 88 Concert Magic songs are assigned to each of the 88 piano keys. The songs are also classified in eight groups by song category such as Children’s Songs, American Classics, Christmas Songs.

All of the song titles are listed on page 65 in the appendices section of this manual.

To select a song, press the key to which your desired song is assigned while holding down the CONCERT MAGIC button.

Twinkle Twinkle	abbreviated song title.

4.2LISTENING TO THE SONG

If you have selected a song you are familiar with, you may want to play by yourself right away. However you may want to listen to the song first before playing it.

To listen, press the PLAY/STOP button. The CN piano will start playing back the selected song. You can adjust the speed or tempo of the song by using the VALUE buttons while holding down the TEMPO button. While you are listening you can select a different Concert Magic song by using the VALUE buttons.

You probably noticed that the circles in the LCD display turn into smaller plus signs as the song is played back. This is called the Note Navigator.
