MELODY PLAY
These songs are also quite easy to play, especially if they are familiar to you. To perform them, tap out the rhythm of the melody on any key on the keyboard. Singing along as you tap the rhythm can be helpful.
Play “Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star” for example. Follow the melody’s rhythm as shown.

When performing fast songs with Concert Magic, it is sometimes easier to tap two different keys with two fingers alternating. This allows you to play twice as fast as you can using only one finger on one key.
SKILLFUL
These songs range in difficulty from moderately difficult to difficult. To perform them, tap out the rhythm of both the melody and the accompaniment notes on any key on the keyboard, like “Waltz of the Flowers” shown below. The Note Navigator will be very helpful with the Skillful songs.

| It may take some practice to get them just right. A good way to learn |
| these songs is to listen to them first, and then try to tap out the rhythms |
| that you hear. |
◆ NOTE | In the song list in the reference section on page 78, the arrangement type |
| is marked next to each song title as “EB” for Easy Beat, “MP” for Melody |
| Play and “SK” for Skillful. |
