Rising star stage


Arranging a stage for your beloved child is an entirely achievable task, because you don’t have to try to satisfy the needs of all family members. A small stage in an empty corner will suffice for a beginning starlet. A simple platform, drapes and a matching hobby theme.




Strange as it may sound, but the curtain plays no less important role when making a home price than the platform itself. It is thanks to him that even a small corner can be turned into a magnificent stage. The option of the platform by the window also looks interesting.

However, the choice of music is only half the battle. At first, music is destined to remain in the life of a baby only as a background, to which almost no attention is paid. Adults often no longer remember the peculiarities of children's perception of music, which consists in the fact that very young children do not seem to hear music - they do not react to it, calmly going about their business: playing, drawing ... Of course, even such passive listening is deposited in the subconscious. However, the child can be helped to "hear" the music so that its perception is more meaningful and brings conscious pleasure. The simplest trick is to invite the baby to dance or march to rhythmic music, together or in company with a toy - or maybe watch mom dance. Another tried and tested way to interest is the game "What does it look like?" When the child tries to guess what he hears in the music: the rustle of rain, the singing of birds, the gait of various animals ... Such games are very suitable for this game. program works, like "The Four Seasons" - and Tchaikovsky, and Vivaldi. Plays that do not have an explicit plot are good in their own way because over time the child will be able to come up with any story for them with the most amazing adventures - and even draw a picture for it. Favorite music can become an exquisite setting for the day. Once chosen, beautiful melodies can serve as an invitation to the table, daytime and evening lullabies, a background for classes, for example, drawing - a fairly short recognizable fragment. By the way, it is important not to "overload" the baby with music, not to tire - music should give pleasure, and not turn into annoying noise. Gradually, the child gets used to life to the music - and to a very good music. He begins to distinguish shades and beauty of melodies. His world becomes richer, and his feelings become thinner. Over time, from the age of three, he will be able to listen to music without additional games and tricks - "let's dance", "what it looks like" ... Many kids by this time master the buttons of the music center and begin to put themselves disks. One day, when the child can listen to music with pleasure for more than half an hour, it will be possible to arrange a beautiful home concert: put aside all business, dress smartly, turn off the overhead light, light candles, and the whole family silently listen to some classic sitting comfortably in chairs. The most "advanced" little music lovers go to concerts for the first time at the age of five or six. True, it is more pleasant for many to listen to music at home: after all, where, if not at home, can you jump up and dance to the melody that captured you? Of course, it would be very nice if the house sometimes sounded live music, that is, one of the adults played at least simple melodies on the piano, guitar, accordion, violin or flute. Some of the simplest musical instruments, a baby can also master: tambourine, metallophone, pipe. This is worth doing, even though the simplest instruments, like the triangle, don't make music at all - they just make sounds. But the sounds are beautiful, and the ability to hear their beauty is also a sign of true culture. After all, the world is full of magical sounds. you just need to hear them. By the way, one of the most mysterious and wonderful sounds can be reproduced with the help of very simple objects: a guitar and a handful of dry rice cereal. If you slowly pour a handful of rice on the strings of a lying guitar, it will make a quiet and absolutely fabulous rustling sound. The child will definitely like it.

You have recorded a lot of new songs and you like them. But will people like them? Would like to know how to check it...

Ease of organization. There is always a place to perform. You can immediately get an opinion on new songs.

Welcoming atmosphere. The first concerts of a beginning group in front of a large audience are always nervous and crumpled. In the "home" environment, everything is much freer. The public doesn't expect a "show" from you. The songs themselves and the contact with the listeners are more important.

You don't have to worry about filling the hall and selling tickets. However, it is helpful to think ahead of time about some form of payment or donation from viewers. If each listener gives you 10 rubles, this will be enough for beer or gasoline for the return trip.

Public understanding. You will have to sing literally face to face with the audience. But people understand that you are unprofessional artists, and are ready to turn a blind eye to certain shortcomings that would be unforgivable on big concert. However, this is not yet a reason to act carelessly!

You acquire your audience. Your first listeners can become regular fans, helpers in the promotion of the group and visitors to your www-site. This is not so rare - for example, the two girls you see in the photo were known for a long time mainly among the St. Petersburg alternative public.

If you're lucky, you might be able to sell a few cassettes of your songs.

You can experiment. For example, why not try out unusual elements of performance in public - avant-garde art, absurdity, something completely non-standard? If you don't start a fire or a flood, you can get away with it. - Concert advertising is not required. All the necessary "promotion" is a few phone calls to friends and acquaintances.

However, you shouldn't paint a picture for yourself in rainbow colors: "kvartirniks" also have disadvantages: - Peculiarities of the audience. People who regularly attend apartment concerts will most likely not go to your concert in a club or in Big hall. They get used to the "underground" atmosphere and are not interested in "promoted" bands. And of course, at such a concert you will not be able to make acquaintance with the "big bosses of show business". Friends of musicians, students, artists-poets and artistic bohemians go to the apartments.

You will need to be careful, minimal security will not interfere. It is not known in advance who will come to the concert and in what condition. If everything ends with a general libation and an overnight stay with the owners, then in the morning you may not find some of your things and tools.

Closer to the people - closer to the scandal. An informal setting can easily turn into disorganization. Separate "warmed up" personalities can behave "inadequately". In this case, you, together with the hosts, must correctly calm the troublemaker and, if the mood of the public allows, continue the concert.

Soundproof apartments are rare. You can arrange a concert until 11 o'clock. After that, there is a risk of encountering discontent from the neighbors. Discontent can result in a call to the police squad.

It is not always possible to perform in the "electric" version. Usually such concerts are held "in acoustics".

If you are attracted to monumental theatrical performances, then it will be impossible to stage a grandiose performance in cramped conditions. We'll have to limit ourselves to just performing songs, without lasers and backup dancers.

If during your work you have already caught the “star disease”, then you will feel “out of your element”. If playing in such a concert is below your dignity, look for other opportunities for performances.

Be simple, and people will reach out to you. Including the opposite sex.

I don’t know about the rest, but it was customary for us to give concerts at home, on weekends and public holidays for parents, grandparents and their friends. Adults gathered, and while they were busy with their feast, conversations and other chores, we children were feverishly doing final preparations to the concert.

Home children's concerts were of interest to all, both the audience and the participants themselves. It was possible for a week or a month to learn new songs, make figures for the shadow theater, learn poetry, prepare some absolutely fantastic costumes from my mother's and father's clothes. In general, everything was done to surprise parents and guests as much as possible. They prepared for them in advance, and if it was just a day off and there was only your family, you could sing, tell, play something, but if it was some kind of big holiday, such as February 23, New Year or March 8 , for these concerts it was possible to prepare for a month, for two. I always wanted to come up with something extraordinary, and since no one knew about the Internet then, I had to turn on my imagination. Thanks to the books we read, educational magazines and just a good upbringing (in those good times there was an abundance of all this), we had a stormy fantasy. By the way, in our home concerts very often everyone's favorite pets (hamsters, birds, cats and dogs) took part, the roles were assigned to them, but then how it turned out.

And then came one of those exciting days! Feelings were like before the exam, but what if it doesn’t work out, what if I forget the words, and suddenly the scenery will fly, made with colored paper with my own hands and hidden from my parents until the X day. Usually parents were invited to the room where the action took place, they sat on the sofa and the concert began.

Here I would like to note that in the days of the USSR, children were sufficiently educated, as was required of them both at school and at home. Plus, all kinds of circles were attended not at the whim of the parents, but primarily at the request of the children, since at that time most of the circles were either free or cost absolutely symbolic money. And, based on all this, our home concerts sometimes turned out very, very well. If one child sings beautifully, another accompanies him, the third shows some miracles, because he is passionate about chemistry and physics, the fourth dances well - there is something to see. And given that all this is done by your children, is this not a reason to be proud of them. Our parents were proud. And we did everything not to upset them and try to be even better. And in fact, these concerts were nothing more than a way to bring joy to the closest people in the world, parents.

Yes, it was quite likely not for everyone, but in my environment these concerts were considered something like a wonderful holiday, which you prepare for, which you expect. After all, before many people were friends with families, and when three, four, or even five or six families gathered in one house, there could be eight or ten children. If someone unexpectedly came, then we, the children, quickly organized a role in our concert for beginners, they could be as the same scenery or tell some verse while we were changing clothes (children also knew quite a lot of poems for memory ). There was a place and a right time for everyone. Most importantly, how much fun we had!!! These feelings will never be forgotten. Looking now at the children who are stuck in computers and mobile phones becomes really sorry for them. And even the point is not that they are different, but how many joys of our childhood these children are deprived of and will never recognize them.
