4) CONCERT MAGIC
The great German composer Johann Sebastian Bach once said "Playing the keyboard is simple. Just strike
the right keys at the right time" . Many pianists wish it were quite that straightforward. Fortunately, KAWAI have
devised a method of playing the keyboard that is very simple, without even needing to strike the right keys.
With CONCERT MAGIC, absolutely anyone can sit at the CN21 piano and make real music - even complete
beginners who have never taken a piano lesson in their life. To enjoy performing with Concert Magic, simply
select one of the 40 pre-programmed songs and tap any key with a steady rhythm and tempo. Concert Magic
will provide the correct melody and accompaniment notes, regardless of which keys are pressed. With Concert
Magic anybody, young or old, can enjoy playing music from the moment they sit down at the CN21 piano.
