5) Concert Magic Song Arrangement Types
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 88 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.
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 fi ngers
alternating. This allows you to play twice as fast as you can using only one fi nger on one key.
