4.4PART VOLUME BALANCE FOR CONCERT MAGIC

4.5CONCERT MAGIC SONG ARRANGEMENT TYPES

After playing for a while with Concert Magic you may think that it’s too easy and there is very little to learn.

While it is true that some of the songs are very easy to play, even for beginners, there are also some which will challenge you and require practice to play beautifully. Each of the 88 Concert Magic songs falls into one of three different arrangement types depending on the skill level required to perform them.

EASY BEAT

These are the easiest songs to play. To perform them, simply tap out a constant steady beat on any key on the keyboard.

Look at the following example, “Für Elise”. The Note Navigator indicates that you should keep a constant steady rhythm all the way through the song. This is the distinguishing character of an Easy Beat song.
