10 Best Kid's Musical Instruments in 2022 (RockJam, Play22, and More)

This digital keyboard is great for beginners and elite pianists alike because of its portable size and numerous features such as different teaching modes. 

It comes with a sheet music stand and offers exclusive access to the Simply Piano app for better learning. Play plugged into a power supply or on the go with batteries - nothing can stop a musical artist from jammin'!

Reviewers noted that after frequent usage, some keys would go flat but could be fixed with a restart of the system. On the other hand, the keynote stickers, which shows the location of each note based on a particular piano key, was a favorite among users because it helped them to tackle the difficulty of note-reading. 

This acoustic guitar has everything a beginner would need to get strumming, such as a guitar pick, shoulder strap, guitar case, digital tuner, pitch pipe and even an extra set of six strings. It might be light on the budget, but users were surprised at the quality of the sound it made due to the all-wood body. 

Reviewers advise getting ready to regularly tune the guitar because it would go out of pitch every hour or so. It is a good purchase, however, as a starter instrument. 

This set is for the mini maestro with excess energy to spare. It has 18 types of instruments to explore, from rattles and shakers to a xylophone, and is sure to keep a toddler entertained. Pick up the tambourine and turn a solo concert into a family bonding session. 

It's been mentioned in the reviews that some of the instruments, like the shakers, were quite soft, which might disappoint the child. But parents loved that the product is made with non-toxic, premium material which is smooth to the touch and can endure frequent visits to the floor. 

The classic ukulele made with solid mahogany is like wine which gets better with age. This instrument is made to last and grows with the user as they progress in levels of playing. 

It comes with all the perks: picks, tuner, cleaning cloth, case, and a strap. And because the manufacturer kept all ages in mind, they rounded the edges for comfort and shaped the neck into a dovetail to withstand any falls. 

Reviewers commented that the first four frets on the C string would emit a buzzing sound after a while. They advised replacing the string to address the problem. At the end of the day, the rich and mellow sound made by the wood was the main selling point which made this ukulele worthwhile. 

Who said making music had to stick to traditional instruments? This keyboard playmat incorporates staying fit and healthy, fun and music all into one product. It includes adjustable volume so you can hear the music amid all the sounds of laughter (or panting), and can mimic eight different types of instruments. 

A tip from reviewers: the mat always starts at full volume, which may startle everyone. You'll need to turn down the volume every time. On the bright side, the product can handle even a 180-pound adult, so a family dance-off is not far away.

For older children who want to release some extra energy and are too cool for pots and pans, this roll-up drum set is the perfect surprise. It's portable and can be set up anywhere, plus it comes close to a real kit, with two pedals included. When the kids get an itch to play at midnight, simply plug in headphones and everyone is appeased. 

Some reviewers mentioned that the actual device was smaller than expected, convincing them that it caters to children. For added fun, you can connect drums to a computer to play along with drum games.

Those looking for a keyboard with more keys that comes close to a piano were quite satisfied with this Casio portable keyboard. With 61 piano-style keys, 400 tones, 100 auto-accompanied rhythms and 60 song bank tunes, a kid would be engrossed learning the instrument for hours. 

Then when they're done playing, they can switch to dance mode and move to 50 music choices. Users noted that this keyboard was more geared toward beginners because pianists immediately noticed the weightless keys and extra octave on the right hand which made playing quite disorienting. 

Those dipping their feet into this instrument were grateful for the small screen which showed the notes and correct finger placement. It's like having an on-hand tutor at every session.

Turn on any song, hand this bongo drum pair to a child and watch them make their own beat to the tune. Nothing beats self-expression in music better than banging a drum. They stick to a rhythm but are in full control of how to translate the music. And because this product is made for kids, it's very durable, with its black molded rubber base. 

According to reviews, the bongos sound better with a mallet, as tiny hands might have difficulty banging the surface. Once the provided drumstick is used, nothing could stop the kids from banging away, and people say they are strong enough to withstand anything kids can throw at them.

It might not be a real sax or trumpet, but chances are, a toddler won't be able to tell the difference. Instead, they'll have loads of fun pretending to be a jazz virtuoso. The instrument produces more realistic sounds, unlike others that sound synthesized. 

Parents commented that the instrument was a great workout for the kids because it required more power and air output to create loud sounds. The buttons, though, had a tendency of falling off. Apart from these small issues which children quickly overlooked, the instruments were a hit among the family.

Kids love making music, no matter the instrument or kitchen utensil. A popular choice among children is harmonicas because with a soft blow, they can create so many different sounds. This one, in particular, has been engineered to create beautiful music. It has passed safety standards and is child-friendly.

This instrument is smaller than average and only has enough notes for simple tunes in major chords, which reviewers pointed out makes it really geared for younger users. The stainless steel and top-notch materials used made cleanup quite easy, even if the harmonica was full of slobber.
