Fur Elise
••••••<

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 CA piano can be enjoyed

by anyone in the family, even those who have never touched a musical

instrument in their life.

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 176 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.
