Electrosynthesizer

The Sim­ba elec­trosyn­the­siz­er is a god­send for begin­ner musi­cians. With its help, the child will eas­i­ly mas­ter the basics of musi­cal impro­vi­sa­tion: he will learn to set the tem­po, lis­ten to and cre­ate music of dif­fer­ent direc­tions and keys.

Xylophone

It would seem, well, what’s spe­cial here — an ordi­nary Bino xylo­phone. But by hit­ting 12 col­or­ful plates with wood­en sticks, the child learns to com­bine sounds and com­pose them into rhythms, and over time he will eas­i­ly repro­duce by ear the melody of his favorite song.

The xylo­phone is wood­en, paint­ed with safe paints and made of high qual­i­ty: the paint on the plates does not crack, the parts are held firm­ly.

The sound of the instru­ment is soft, short, with­out echo, such a xylo­phone is an excel­lent assis­tant for the devel­op­ment of musi­cal mem­o­ry.

Per­son­al karaoke for a child — with a micro­phone from Sim­ba, it’s easy to per­form your favorite songs when­ev­er and wher­ev­er you want, for exam­ple, to orga­nize an away New Year’s con­cert for grand­par­ents.

The height of the rack is adjustable depend­ing on the per­former’s height.

Those who are against elec­tron­ic music and love clas­si­cal instru­ments will like the Bam­bi wood­en gui­tar, because it looks almost like the real thing.

The wood­en deck will pro­duce a pleas­ant sur­round sound thanks to the six strings, which the child can pull, and on the fin­ger­board — “take” notes.

This mod­el is avail­able in dif­fer­ent col­ors, and it is up to the child to decide which one to choose — ordi­nary or unusu­al.

The gui­tar comes with a spare string and pick­guard.

How to choose children’s musical instruments: useful tips

When choos­ing chil­dren’s musi­cal instru­ments, remem­ber that they are still games, that is, their sounds may be far from per­fect­ly cor­rect notes.

At the same time, they per­fect­ly cope with their task — they help the child devel­op not only a love for music, but also imag­i­na­tion. After all, who among us in child­hood did not dream of becom­ing a singer, actor or musi­cian, mas­tered play­ing the piano, gui­tar or drum set mas­ter­ful­ly.

To devel­op a child’s musi­cal­i­ty, lis­ten to dif­fer­ent music for your plea­sure. Let it be not only chil­dren’s songs, but clas­sics, mod­ern melodies and sounds of nature. Move with your baby to cheer­ful march­es and waltz sounds, beat pop­u­lar rhythms that sound on the radio, and sing along to them with­out shame.

Look for music in the sur­round­ing objects, because lids from pans, glass jars and a bunch of keys sound dif­fer­ent. And arrange home con­certs with fiery dances, melodies and songs of your own cre­ation.

May there always be music in your home, we wish you suc­cess­ful musi­cal exper­i­ments and shop­ping with Hot­line!
