Mad Mountain King
Have you ever noticed the SYNC/STOP button in the STYLE area on your CVP? It’s right next to the SYNC/START button. Perhaps you’ve never used it, or just wondered how to use it . . . what musical purpose does it serve? “Mad Mountain King” is a great way to learn how to use the feature AND a fun song to play along with a STYLE on your Clavinova. Download the pdf/music below and enjoy bringing this Halloween-ish tune into the 21st century on your incredible Clavinova! TEACHERS: the STYLE feature is perfect for helping your students learn chords. And most kiddos will recognize this infectious melody by Grieg!
