4) CONCERT MAGIC
The great German composer Johann Sebastian Bach once said
the right keys at the right time"
devised a method of playing the keyboard that is very simple, without even needing to strike the right keys.
With CONCERT MAGIC, absolutely anyone can sit at the CN21 piano and make real music - even complete
beginners who have never taken a piano lesson in their life. To enjoy performing with Concert Magic, simply
select one of the 40 pre-programmed songs and tap any key with a steady rhythm and tempo. Concert Magic
will provide the correct melody and accompaniment notes, regardless of which keys are pressed. With Concert
Magic anybody, young or old, can enjoy playing music from the moment they sit down at the CN21 piano.
. Many pianists wish it were quite that straightforward. Fortunately, KAWAI have
"Playing the keyboard is simple. Just strike
2
GETTING STARTED
SELECTING A SONG
The 40 Concert Magic songs are assigned to each of the fi rst 40 white keys, and classifi ed by song category
into six groups, such as Children's Songs, American Classics, Christmas Songs etc.
Please refer to Appendix 3: 'CONCERT MAGIC SONG LIST' on page 34 for a complete listing of available
Concert Magic songs.
Step 1
Press and hold the CONCERT MAGIC button, then press one of the lowest 15 keys assigned to the
desired Concert Magic song.
Song No.
Hold down the button.
LISTENING TO THE SONG
If the performer is already familiar with the selected Concert Magic song, he/she may wish to begin playing
straight away. However, those unfamiliar with the piece may alternatively wish to listen to the song fi rst, before
attempting to play it.
Step 1
Press the PLAY/STOP button to listen to the selected Concert Magic song.
The CN21 piano will start to playback the selected Concert Magic song.
To listen to a different song, simply repeat the procedure above.
Step 2
Press the PLAY/STOP button or CONCERT MAGIC button once again to fi nish listening to the Concert
Magic song.
Page 17
PERFORMING A SONG
Step 1
Tap out the rhythm of the selected song on any one of the piano’s 88 black or white keys.
Concert Magic songs will respond to changes in playing style. As the keys are tapped harder, the music will
grow louder; if the keys are tapped more softly, the music will become quieter. Tapping faster will cause the
music to speed up, while tapping slower will make the music slow down accordingly. Using Concert Magic, even
inexperienced pianists can sound like they have been playing for years, simply by pressing one key with one
fi nger.
Concert Magic is a perfect method for small children to learn music, especially when developing a sense of
rhythm. For older people who may believe it is too late to learn the piano, Concert Magic offers an enjoyable fi rst
step. With Concert Magic, the CN21 piano can be enjoyed by everyone in the family, even those who have never
touched a musical instrument in their life.
CONCERT MAGIC SONG TYPES
After playing with Concert Magic for a while, performers may feel that such playing is too easy and that 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 songs which will prove challenging, and require practice to play profi ciently.
Each of the 40 Concert Magic songs fall into one of three different arrangement types, depending on the skill
level required to perform them.
Page
17
2
GETTING STARTED
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’. Press the key with a steady sixteenth note rhythm.
Key on X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X
MELODY PLAY
These songs are also quite easy to play, especially if they are familiar to the player. To perform them, tap out the
rhythm of the melody on any key on the keyboard. Singing along as the rhythm is tapped can be helpful. Play
‘Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star’ for example. Follow the melody's rhythm as shown.
Key on X X X X X X X X X X X X X X
When performing fast songs with Concert Magic, it is sometimes easier to tap two different keys with two
alternating fi ngers in order to play at greater speed.
Page 18
Page
18
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.
Key on X X X X X XXXXX XXX
2
GETTING STARTED
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.
Please refer to Appendix 3: 'CONCERT MAGIC SONG LIST' on page 34 for a complete listing of available
Concert Magic songs. The arrangement type is marked next to each song title as 'EB' for Easy Beat, 'MP' for
Melody Play and 'SK' for Skillful.

About MIDI
The term MIDI is an acronym for Musical Instrument Digital Interface, an international standard for
connecting synthesizers, sequencers (MIDI recorders) and other electronic instruments so that they can
exchange performance data. The CN21 is equipped with two MIDI jacks for exchanging data: MIDI IN and
MIDI OUT. Each uses a special cable with a DIN connector.
MIDI IN : For receiving note, program change and other data.
MIDI OUT : For sending note, program change and other data.
Connection to an external sequencer
When connected to an external sequencer, songs played on the CN21 piano can be recorded using a MIDI
recorder, with preset sounds (such as piano, harpsichord and vibraphone, etc.) controlled by the CN21’s
MULTITIMBRAL MODE function to create a multi-layered MIDI recording.
