37TUTORIAL: 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.
◆ NOTE In the song list in the reference section on page 78, the arrangement type
is marked next to each song title as “EB” for Easy Beat, “MP” for Melody
