Blues for Kids | concert-lecture
TicketsChildren's jazz & blues concert lecture
We invite children and their parents to a special children's jazz and blues concert lecture — a lively, playful, and interactive musical adventure!
This event is designed as a concert-lecture where children not only listen to music, but also actively participate, move, sing, play along and improvise. Nowadays, when music is often experienced through screens, this is an opportunity for children to touch instruments themselves, feel the sound and create music together.
What will happen during the concert-lecture?
- Introduction to various musical instruments
- Live jazz and blues music in a form that is understandable and playful for children
- Musical games (musical chairs, "musical statues")
- Rhythm games, clapping, repetition
- Familiar and beloved children's songs in blues rhythms
- Joint music-making for children and parents
The program consists of two parts (each ~40–45 min):
- the first part focuses more on movement, games, and getting to know the instruments,
- the second part focuses on the concert experience with active participation.
Jazz and blues serve as a free and playful language that encourages children to improvise, not be afraid to make mistakes, and express themselves.
Children will also learn simple techniques for remembering songs and their sequence using stories and imagination.
Age: approximately 3–9 years old
Parents are invited to participate together with their children
Program moderated by: Marcis Kalniņš — musician, bass guitarist (Latvian Blues Band), member of the folk group Ducela, sound engineer.
