SKILLFUL
These songs range in diffi culty from moderately diffi cult to diffi cult. To perform them, tap out the rhythm of both the
melody and the accompaniment notes on any key on the keyboard, such as ‘Waltz of the Flowers’ shown below.
The Note Navigator will be very helpful with the Skillful songs.
It may take a little practice to perform the Concert Magic songs profi ciently. A good way to learn is to listen to these
pieces fi rst, and then try to tap out the rhythms that are heard.
The separate ‘Concert Song List/Lesson Song List’ booklet lists the arrangement type next to each song title as ‘EB’ for
Easy Beat, ‘MP’ for Melody Play and ‘SK’ for Skillful.
