TUTORIAL: PLAYING WITH CONCERT MAGIC

TUTORIAL

Playing with Concert Magic

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.

When performing fast songs with Concert Magic, it is sometimes easier

to tap two different keys with two fingers alternating. This allows you to

play twice as fast as you can using only one finger on one key.

SKILLFUL

These songs range in difficulty from moderately difficult to difficult. To

perform them, tap out the rhythm of both the melody and the

accompaniment notes on any key on the keyboard, like “Waltz of the

Flowers” shown below. The Note Navigator will be very helpful with the

Skillful songs.

It may take some practice to get them just right. A good way to learn

these songs is to listen to them first, and then try to tap out the rhythms

that you hear.
