Gymtime Gift Guide: Mini Musician
Our in-house musician, Ms. Judy shared her favorite instruments for children interested in making some music!
Children as young as 2.5 years old can strum on strings! The perfect starter string instrument is this Ukuele, complete with an instruction manual and songs! Ukuele, Land of Nod
A triangle is a great instrument for children to experience the vibration of sound. Have them hold the triangle by the string and strike it and observe the sound it makes. Next, experiment holding the triangle directly in hand or on the floor and notice how the sound does not travel. Triangle, Hohner
Handbells are a great instrument for young musicians to explore and learn music. The color coded bells help identify the different notes. 5 Note Handbell, Groth Music
Does your child enjoy rhythm and dancing? Start them out with some drums! Tom Tom Drum, Remo
A light “tinkling” sound is made when the cymbols are tapped together, making these a great instrument to learn part one aspect of percussion. Lightweight finger elastic bands make for an easy grip. Finger Cymbols, Hohner Kids
