Playing with Concert Magic
TUTORIAL
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 CA 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 practice to play beautifully. Each of the 176 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.
Fur Elise
