Rent out a studio for their birthday or just for fun. It’s an opportunity to inspire a love of music and creative expression, while capturing that sweet childhood voice for eternity.

Taking your kids to a professional recording studio can be an amazing experience that sparks their creativity, builds confidence, and creates lasting memories. But navigating the world of studios with little ones in tow requires some special considerations. Here are some tips to ensure a smooth and fun recording session for everyone:

Before you book:

• Age and experience: Consider your kids’ ages and musical experience. Smaller studios with simpler setups might be better for younger kids, while older or more experienced children might enjoy the complexity of a larger studio.
• Musical style: Think about the type of music your kids want to record. Some studios specialize in specific genres, so choose one that fits their musical taste.
• Budget: Studio rates can vary significantly. Set a realistic budget and compare prices before booking. Don’t forget to factor in additional costs like engineer time, equipment rentals, and mastering fees.
• Studio atmosphere: Look for a studio with a relaxed and welcoming environment that’s child-friendly. This will help your kids feel comfortable and at ease.

Planning the session:

• Choose the right songs: Help your kids select songs that are appropriate for their skill level and vocal range. It’s better to start with familiar songs they already know well.
• Practice makes perfect: Encourage your kids to practice their songs beforehand. The more prepared they are, the smoother the recording session will be.
• Keep it short and sweet: Younger children might have shorter attention spans. Book a shorter session or plan for breaks to avoid burnout.
• Pack some snacks and drinks: Recording can be tiring and thirsty work. Bring some snacks and drinks to keep the kids energized and happy.

During the session:

• Let the kids take the lead: Encourage your kids to be involved in the recording process. Let them choose the takes they like and give them creative freedom.
• Embrace mistakes: Mistakes are part of the learning process. Be patient and supportive, and remember to have fun!
• Keep it positive: Offer words of encouragement and positive reinforcement throughout the session. Celebrate their accomplishments and build their confidence.
• Capture the moment: Take pictures and videos of the recording session to create lasting memories.

Bonus tips:

• Book a studio tour: Some studios offer tours before booking. This is a great way for your kids to get familiar with the equipment and feel more comfortable in the space.
• Consider hiring a child-friendly engineer: Some engineers have experience working with kids and can tailor the session to their needs.
• Make it a group activity: If you have other kids in the family, invite them along to share the experience and sing backup vocals.

Remember, the most important thing is to make the recording session a fun and positive experience for your kids.
