Opt for a musical Christmas 2022
The cities are dressed in a white coat, Christmas is coming soon. What a magic! Little hitch: you still haven't finished the endless list of gifts. Apolline offers you 5 original ideas, related to music, that will delight 10 year olds.
A 3/4 guitar
10 years old is the ideal age to start an instrument. Your child's motor skills and learning abilities are sufficiently developed to progress quickly, provided that motivation and rigor are present. Why not give your budding musician a little boost by putting a guitar under the tree? Despite what most people think, you can get a beginner's kit at a more than reasonable price. Indeed, there are kits with all the necessary material to start, that you can order on the internet. These kits consist of a guitar, an amplifier and a jack cable. Here is an example:

It is important to note that these kits also exist in ¾ size. The amplifier and the cable are similar, but the guitar is shorter. Because of its smaller size, the instrument is more manageable for a child, even the latter will have to switch to a standard shaped guitar when approaching pre-adolescence. It's up to you to decide!
karaoke microphone
Your child never stops singing at home? offer him a karaoke microphone, a playful approach to perhaps reveal a passion. The market for wireless karaoke microphones is booming, and it's not by chance. These objects halfway between instruments and toys offer several features: integrated backing track (like the special Snow Queen edition from Lexibook), voice distortion, integrated clapping and crowd noise, wireless connection ... here is a link to compare different models:

dj set
Electronic music is omnipresent in the musical panorama and now reaches the lowest age groups. If your child turns over two plates and plugs his right ear while pretending to turn buttons, it's most likely that he has come across a video of David Guetta turning over crowds. So help him along by giving him a beginner's DJ kit. There are models with simulated decks and launchpads to discover the feeling of real decks. Here is a link to the "Kidi DJ Mix" from Vtech to give you an idea of the product:
