Tiny tots to bang their drums at Babies Proms Rafferty and Sarah have fun with music. Picture: Matt Turner Source: adelaidenow HUNDREDS of children as young as six months will be banging on drums in the name of classical music this weekend. The Adelaide Youth Orchestra will stage two Babies Proms concerts, offering parents the chance to introduce their pre-school aged children to classical music. The concerts allow children to take part in group sing-a-longs and get hands-on with a range of musical instruments. Adelaide Youth Orchestra artistic director Keith Crellin said he tried to make the concerts, now in their seventh year, as interactive as possible. "It is so inspiring to see the look of wonder on the face of a child who hears the sound of a tuba or glockenspiel for the first time," Mr Crellin said. The key to getting youngsters excited about classical music is to get them up close and personal with the instruments and involved in the magic of making music. Sarah, Rafferty, Tristan and William tune up for the Babies Proms. Picture: Matt Turner Babies Proms will be held at Grainger Studio, 91 Hindley St, Adelaide, on Sunday at 11am and 1pm. Each concert runs for 50 minutes. Tickets can be purchased at the door.
