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 CN piano can be enjoyed by anyone in the family, even those who have never touched a musical instrument in their life.
