DIY musical instruments for kindergarten
Here are several small master classes on creating interesting and unique musical instruments. You'll see, everything ingenious is very simple.
Drum
Any metal or plastic can that is hollow inside can become a drum. You are unlikely to find such children in kindergarten. But you can ask your parents to bring old plastic jars for mayonnaise, jam or shish kebab. For a variety of sounds, you can take cans of different sizes and wall thicknesses.
Absolutely any will also work as sticks. It is important that the tree (if you choose it) cannot injure children’s hands, that is, it should be coated with a special varnish. For example, chopsticks intended for eating Japanese dishes can play this role.
Wooden xylophone
DIY musical instruments for kindergarten are made from a variety of materials! If you have extra plinth, you can even make a tool out of it. It is enough to cut it into equal sections 10-15 cm long and screw it loosely to the base daughter with screws. The base must be treated so that children do not get splinters. The plinth pieces are placed in the same position one below the other.
To extract sound from this handmade musical instrument, a child moves any wooden stick from top to bottom. The more solid the stick, the louder and richer the sound will be produced.
Gusli
The basis can be a shoe box, in the lid of which a circle is carefully cut out slightly offset from the center. Rubber bands for money are wrapped around it or screwed so that all the “strings” pass over the hole. To prevent the rubber bands from lying on the surface and making sound, they need to be supported with something.
A pencil can serve as a support. However, if you want to raise the “strings” higher, then it is better to make a triangular structure with your own hands, because, as you know, it is the most reliable. Now you can play.
Cugicle
This wind instrument is made from ordinary straws, which are usually offered to children for drinks. It is better not to take those tubes that are attached to juices, since they are small and have a spring for bending in the most inappropriate place. And so, take several tubes of the same diameter (they can be replaced with anything: “cases” for pens, balloon sticks, etc.).
Then, from one of the edges, the second tube is sawed off from below by 1-1.5 cm. The third tube is sawed off to double the distance. Each subsequent one is sawn off in the same way so that a kind of uniform ladder is obtained. Then take a wide tape and place the tubes on it exactly along the edge, one next to the other. Then you need to tape it on the back side.
If your musical instrument is large, then it is better to first cover 2-3 tubes separately with small tape, and only then all together. The lower holes of the musical instrument with your own hands for kindergarten need to be closed. This can be done with plasticine, cut pieces of eraser, or even chewing gum.
Analogue of a triangle
To recreate the subtle sound of a metal stick touching another metal object suspended in the air, you can take the idea from this musical instrument. To make it, you will need 2 metal tubes, one of which will be suspended from any improvised handle by strong threads. The other child will hit and make a pleasant sound.
Maracas
To make your own maracas for kindergarten, any hollow oblong container that can be filled with granules, cereals or larger objects can be suitable. The easiest option is to take a simple pencil, pierce it through a plastic egg from Kinder Surprise and secure it. Peas or rice are placed inside, depending on the desired sound output.
Another option is 0.5 ml plastic bottles. You can put unnecessary buttons or the same cereal inside. Of course, to make the musical instrument look realistic, the bottles should be painted, preferably with acrylic paint to be sure. You can do something different with filled plastic eggs: take small plastic spoons and place them on both sides so that the tips of the base touch. In principle, spoons can be placed on glue, but for beauty, they can be covered with colored tape around the perimeter.
The musical instruments that children make for kindergarten with their own hands will allow them to learn to improvise with sounds and understand the world through play. After all, even in a store, children are more attracted to those toys that can make some sounds, words, or light up. Remember that almost everything that surrounds us can become a musical instrument.
For example, let's take a regular empty cardboard box. It is enough to knock on it with your hands or sticks - and it is already a drum. Anything that can be filled with something and moved from side to side is a potential maracas. DIY musical instruments for kindergarten are a potential source of individual sounds for staging fairy tales. A loud knock - a clap of thunder or the roar of a wild animal. The paper rustles - it’s the wind blowing or autumn leaves falling. Music is all around us.

Studying music is fun! The best books and manuals for children
Children are very sensitive. They always understand when parents themselves are interested in music and when they are not. Mom often says: “Quickly do the solfeggio assignments.” Do you think a child who also hates this solfeggio will want to study? And if mom says: “What are you studying now? Seventh chords? Did you know that Beethoven uses them so beautifully in the Moonlight Sonata? Don't know "Moonlight Sonata"? So let's listen!"
Of course, you will say that not every parent is a musician and has the time and knowledge. If you studied at a music school (and remember something else), then good. But even if you don’t have the knowledge, it doesn’t matter! We have prepared for you the most interesting books about music, with the help of which it is very easy to interest even the most stubborn!
You might find something from this list useful (almost all books can be downloaded completely free in pdf format):
- “Music Theory for Little Musicians and Their Parents”, author - T.E. Pervozvanskaya
This is both a fairy tale and a textbook that explains musical concepts in a very simple and interesting way.
- “Queen Gamma”, author - E. Poplyanova.
In principle, this author has a lot of good books for beginners that will help a child fall in love with solfeggio.
- “Note ABC”, author N.P. Konchalovskaya
This is a very good book-guide for small and large aspiring musicians
- “The alphabet of music for both preschoolers and primary schoolchildren”, author I.S. Korolkova.
- “Incorrect solfeggio, in which instead of rules there are songs, pictures and different stories!”, author O. Kamozina
A child can read this book on his own, but knowledge of the basics of musical literacy will be required.
- “The ABC of Music in Fairy Tales, Poems and Pictures”, author E. A. Koroleva
This manual is intended for classes with preschoolers (5 and 6 years old), but younger students will also definitely like it. There are a lot of games, poems and stories.
- “Musical education of a child”, authors Lev Madorsky and Anatoly Zak
And this book is needed if you want to understand whether your child should take up music and what needs to be done so that children love and are interested in it.
- “Music from A to Z”, author E. Finkelstein
This is a fairly “old” and well-known book that can still be found in bookstores. Very often, teachers of children's music schools recommend it.
- Manuals by V. Zhilin “How to conduct lessons on playing musical instruments”
His work is based on the K. Orff system, which promotes the formation of creative imagination in a child, instills a love of vocals, music and develops a sense of rhythm. There are very few books by Zhilin on sale.
- “Elementary Theory of Music”, author I. V. Sposobin
And this book is necessary for those who study or want to remember musical literacy.
If you can’t get into the musical theme, but really want to help your child, then give your young musician some time, maybe 2 times a week:
- find out what he is studying
- is he interested
- try playing a music quiz (the questions can be found in the textbooks given above).
To keep interest in music lessons alive, play cartoons with good melodies for your child, for example:
- "Cinderella"
- "Pencil and Eraser"
- "Nutcracker"
- "Ballerina on a Ship"
