Every modern parent wants his child to grow up as a versatile personality. Someone begins to teach the child to read since 2 years, and someone prefers to pay special attention to musical development. If you belong to the second group of parents, then I suggest to consider such a musical instrument as a synthesizer for children. For those who are far from music, I will immediately explain that the synthesizer is an electronic keyboard instrument. Allows using special built-in programs, play music from several different instruments at once.
How to choose a synthesizer for a child?
The choice of children's synthesizers is huge. It all depends on the purpose for which you acquire this toy. Some want to just take a child, others want to give him an initial idea of music and develop a hearing, and still others hope that playing with the child will be able to master the instrument.
What should I look for when choosing a children's electronic synthesizer?
1. First and foremost on sound quality. If you have friends who are versed in music, then I advise you to take them with you to the store. Occasional situations like this happen when the key on the child's synthesizer does not match the note. A simple person can not figure out for himself.
2. The key on the child's synthesizer is enough from 32 to 44. It is no longer necessary, because for the child this will be unnecessary unnecessary confusion.
3. Nuances. Here you should pay attention to the additional features of the tool:
- a children's synthesizer with a karaoke and a microphone allows you not only to learn to play the keys, but also to relax, singing your favorite songs in karaoke, and also allows you to sing into the microphone under your own music;
- Children's synthesizer with backlighting of keys facilitates the learning process. The backlight tells the child when and which key to press. It is also worth paying attention to the fact that bright multicolored overflows will prolong your child's interest in the instrument;
- children's synthesizers on the legs or on a stand - someone can say that this is an extra waste of money (overpay for the stand and legs), and for someone it's an opportunity not to puzzle over the place for the instrument.
How to play the children's synthesizer?
To begin with it is worthwhile to figure out how to play the instrument. And for this it is best to buy a book on solfeggio, but not to take an adult, but children's literature, so as not to load yourself with unnecessary and complex information. Read, get basic knowledge. And then start classes with the child.
If you chose a synthesizer without highlighting the keys, then it makes sense to make homemade stickers, it's best to pick up your own color for each note, and at the bottom you can sign the name of the note itself. Also it is necessary to buy notes of children's simple songs. Look in stores, there is a lot of entertaining literature, with simple accessible compositions.
Going to the store, first of all, remember that you are going behind the instrument for the child, so do not buy a toy for yourself. When buying, proceed from his interests, and not his (and of course from the possibilities of his wallet). By the way, one more tip. Try to visit a specialized store of musical instruments. So it's less likely to buy a poor-quality synthesizer. And remember that you should not teach your child to play musical instruments, if he is against it. So you can give him all the interest in general. If he wants, then let him play by his own rules. Children themselves choose what they want to learn! Do not forget that the main thing for you is the inner balance of your child, do not break it. Be careful, do not overdo it with early development!
