8) 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 pianists wish it were quite that straightforward. Fortunately, KAWAI have devised a method of playing the keyboard that is very simple, without even needing to strike the right keys.

With CONCERT MAGIC, absolutely anyone can sit at the CN41 piano and make real music - even complete beginners who have never taken a piano lesson in their life. To enjoy performing with Concert Magic, simply select a favorite piece from the 88 pre-programmed songs and tap any key with a steady rhythm and tempo. Concert Magic will provide the correct melody and accompaniment notes, regardless of which keys are pressed. With Concert Magic anybody, young or old, can enjoy playing music from the moment they sit down at the CN41 piano.
