Playing with the Concert Magic P. 95
Performing a Concert Magic Song
Playing the Concert Magic song you’ve selected is very easy. Just begin tapping any key on the
keyboard and the song will play. Concert Magic plays the correct notes of the song, but you must
provide the rhythm. Being familiar with how a particular song sounds does make it easier, but
watching the Note Navigator screen can help you play a song that you’ve never heard before.
The Note Navigator provides an outline of the song’s rhythm that looks a lot like the real music. The
dots (•) in the display are the notes that you play. The spacing of the notes gives a clue to the timing
(rhythm) of the notes. Notes that are closer together are played faster; notes that are farther apart
are played longer. Notes that are evenly spaced are played evenly, and so on.
Up to four lines of music are displayed. After you’ve played past a note in the song, the dot becomes
a cross (+) to help you keep track of where you now are. When you get to the bottom of the screen,
the top lines change to show the next lines of music, as if you had turned the page. When you get to
the end of the song you will see a double line, and then the song will reset to the beginning.
