Electronic music workshop for kids (5 to 12 years old) by Lukatoyboy [RS].

Today artists are more than ever responsible for helping to developing their public and being engaged in the aesthetic education of younger people. The aim of this workshop is therefore to give children (5 – 12 years old) and their parents initial insights into the possibilities for making music with simple and low-cost electronic instruments. How can electronic sounds be produced and arranged? How can one improvise with electronic instruments? How can acoustic instruments be combined with electronic ones? What is sampling? Which beats belong to which music genres? How does one make a song? How does one play along with electronic instruments? What has to be considered in the case of a live appearance? The workshop answers these and similar questions through playfully attempts using simple, battery operated and, therefore, portable consumer devices such as the Nintendo DS game console, small synthesisers and samplers, or the Korg Kaospad.
