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 DEMO button. The CL25 piano will start playing
back the selected song.
If you want to listen to a different song, repeat the same procedure to
select a song and press the DEMO button.
When you are finished listening to the song, press either the CONCERT
MAGIC button or the DEMO button to stop.
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 CL25 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 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.
