Musikmesse 2017 hosts a new kind of area for children and young adults this year with the “Discover Music” area, which will replace the trade fair’s previous “Music4Kids” project.
The new area will be held in a 600 square-meter tent in the outdoor exhibition area to help introduce both children and adults to the joys of playing a musical instrument.
As per tradition, kindergarten groups from the Rhine-Main region can participate, but all Musikmesse visitors can visit and try out new musical instruments at the “Discover Music” area, as well as find out which musical direction suits them best. Experienced musicians and teachers from the Frankfurt Music Academy will be in the tent to assist visitors.
“Over recent years, Music4Kidz gave more than 140,000 children the chance to embark on a journey of discovery into the worlds of tones and sound. Now, under the ‘Discover Music’ banner, the special area for young people at Musikmesse is shifting its focus to testing and discovering instruments in a playful way under the supervision of experienced music teachers,” says Wolfgang Lücke, the Head of Special Events & Entertainment at Musikmesse and Prolight + Sound.
Many different sponsors provide musical instruments and equipment for the project, including Alpine Hearing Protection, Gahrens + Battermann, Klangschalen Center, Musik Meyer, Session Music, Terré and Yamaha.
