Listening 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 DEMO button. The CL25 piano will start playing back the selected song.

If you want to listen to a different song, repeat the same procedure to select a song and press the DEMO button.

When you are finished listening to the song, press either the CONCERT MAGIC button or the DEMO button to stop.

Performing a song

Now you’re ready to play yourself.

Tap out the rhythm of the selected song on any one of the 88 black or white keys on your piano keyboard. As you tap harder, the notes will get louder; as you tap softer, the notes will get quieter. As you tap faster, the notes speed up; as you tap slower, they will slow down correspondingly, just like regular piano playing.

Isn’t it fun? You can sound like you’ve been playing for years just by pressing one key with one finger.

Concert Magic is a perfect method for small children to learn music, especially to develop a sense of rhythm. For older people who may think it is too late to learn the keyboard, Concert Magic is a good first step for them to begin with. With Concert Magic, your CL25 piano can be enjoyed by anyone in the family, even those who have never touched a musical instrument in their life.

Concert 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 some practice to play beautifully. Each of the 40 Concert Magic songs falls into one of three different categories depending on the skill level required to perform them.
