8 musical entertainment activities with children
Among the offer of activities for children and families that can be found in large cities, music is increasingly present in different scenarios and also on the street. Concerts for children who approach all types of music are a very popular resource, so we have concerts of rock, pop, folk, jazz, blues, etc ... in addition to musical shows and groups specializing in children's music.
Music as an educational tool
Little by little, the musical groups are specialized in acting for families, or it is the parents who bring the children to adult shows.
Despite the fact that "lifelong" music always triumphs, professionals recommend that children not only listen to songs for them, especially as they grow up. The main reason is that children's songs have very simple rhythms and it is recommended that children begin to listen to more complex forms that are perfectly capable of assimilating and enjoying them from a very young age.
The music, used with the appropriate resources and a good orientation, is also a form of communication between parents and children, especially in the first months of children's lives: it strengthens the bond between them, favors the motor skills of children, the ear and the rest of the senses.
Enjoy with these 8 musical activities to go with children
If you want to use your leisure time away from home to bring your children to music, we recommend these activities:
1. Theater for babies: It is a good way to listen and relate sounds with movements, dances, etc. The theater for babies uses music as a basic resource to attract their attention.
2. Workshops for children: professional musicians, sometimes also pedagogues specialized in music, offer some workshops for children of different ages. You can find them from four months. These are workshops aimed at small groups that bring rhythms and instruments to children in the form of play and discovery.
3. Musical theater: Musicals are a wonderful leisure option for children from 3 or 4 years old. The staging, the plot and, above all, the music will bring you closer to different rhythms. If the groups are true professionals, you can enjoy different musical styles in the same Show.
4. Concerts for children with music for children: there are groups that have a purely childish repertoire or use popular themes. You can enjoy songs that children listen to at home and take them to the concert to sing and dance their favorite songs. They will have a great time.
5. Concerts for children with adult music: more and more groups are looking for parents and children to have fun in the same way listening to music that everyone likes. Pop, rock, blues, swing and many other styles are more than recommended for everyone. The musicians usually intersperse and play games for children and wear funny clothes to attract their attention.
6. Immersion Concerts: Little by little, concerts that allow children to walk among the musicians, approach the instruments and even, in some cases, experiment, are introduced into the proposals for children's entertainment. It is important that you go to those recommended for the age of your children.
7. Adult concerts: If you want your children to adapt without problems to your plans, a good idea is to bring them to all types of music, in different scenarios, at any time. Since nobody likes to pay a ticket to have to leave after 10 minutes, we recommend that you take advantage of free concerts and street music. It offers us the opportunity to listen to unknown topics anywhere during the time we consider. In this way we facilitate the child freedom of movement, and we can feel what he likes best. It is one more way to get to know him.
