CONCERT MAGIC
The great German composer Johann Sebastian Bach once said, “Playing the keyboard is simple. Just strike right keys at the right time.” Many people wish it were that simple. The reality is very different of course. However, there is a way to make playing the keyboard very simple. You don’t even have to strike right keys thanks to Concert Magic.
With Concert Magic, absolutely anyone can sit at the CP piano and make real music… even if you’ve never taken a piano lesson in your life.
To enjoy performing by yourself, you have only to select your favorite piece from 40 preprogrammed songs and tap any of the 88 keys with a steady rhythm and tempo. Concert Magic will provide the correct melody and accompaniment notes, regardless of which keys you press. Anybody, young or old, can enjoy Concert Magic from the moment they sit down at the CP piano.
Now let’s see how Concert Magic works.
1.SELECTING A SONG
The 40 Concert Magic songs are assigned to each of the 40 white keys, classified in six groups by song category such as Children’s Songs, American Classics, Christmas Songs.
All of the song titles are listed on page 33.
To select a song, press the key to which your desired song is assigned while holding down the CONCERT MAGIC button.

2.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 PLAY/STOP button. The CP piano will start playing back the selected song. When the demo song is finished, press the START/ STOP button again to stop. Otherwise the CP piano will play all the other Concert Magic songs one at a time in order.
If you want to listen to a different song, repeat the same procedure to select a song.
