When used with Concert Magic, the balance slider adjusts the volume
balance of the melody part and the accompaniment.
As the slider is moved to the right, the sound of the melody becomes
louder and the accompaniment becomes softer. The balance
changes in the opposite way when the slider is moved to the left.

YPES
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 88 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.
Press any key with a steady rhythm.
Fur Elise

MELODY PLAY
These songs are also quite easy to play, especially if they are familiar to
you. To perform them, tap out the rhythm of the melody on any key on
the keyboard. Singing along as you tap the rhythm can be helpful.
Play “Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star” for example. Follow the melody’s
rhythm as shown.
