be performed correctly.

Melody Play
MP
These songs are also relatively easy to play, especially if they are familiar to the player. To perform them, tap out the rhythm of the
melody on any key of the keyboard. Singing along as the rhythm is tapped can be helpful.
The following example shows the notated score for ‘Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star’.
* When performing fast Concert Magic songs, it may be easier to tap different keys with two alternating fingers in order to play at a greater speed.
