3.PERFORMING A SONG
Now you’re ready to play yourself.
Tap out the rhythm of the selected song on any one of the 88 black or
white keys on your piano keyboard. 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 CP piano can be enjoyed
by anyone in the family, even those who have never touched a musical
instrument in their life.
4.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 some
practice to play beautifully. Each of the 40 Concert Magic songs falls into
one of three different categories 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 your piano keyboard.
Look at the following example, “Für Elise”. Press the key with a steady
sixteenth note rhythm.
