It may take a little practice to perform the Concert Magic songs profi ciently. A good way to learn is to listen to these pieces fi rst, and then try to tap out the rhythms that are heard.
The separate ‘Internal Song List’ booklet lists the arrangement type next to each song title as ‘EB’ for Easy Beat, ‘MP’
for Melody Play and ‘SK’ for Skillful.
