The celesta is played in the same way as the piano, because the movement of its pronunciation is not as sensitive as that of the piano, and it is not suitable to play fast and continuous phrases. Scales, chromatics, chords, broken chords, arpeggios and interval jumps can be played. Its dynamics are weak, and it can be played solo or with accompaniment.
It is the quietest and most elegant instrument in a symphony orchestra, shaped like a small piano, with a clean tone and a star-like brightness. Application clef: treble: treble clef, not transposed notation; bass: bass clef, not transposed notation.

The celesta is a keyboard musical instrument in the shape of a small piano. Metal sheets of different pitches are arranged on a resonance box. Playing the keys drives a felt-packed mallet to strike and produce sound. Use a large staff notation, one octave lower than the actual pitch.
