{"product_id":"janod-gioia-kids-harmonica","title":"Janod - Kids Metal Harmonica - First Instrument","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Janod Gioia Harmonica is a real metal harmonica, scaled and finished for children aged 3 and over. It plays properly, it looks beautiful, and it belongs to the colourful Gioia range - pronounced joy-yuh - of early learning musical instruments.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eAn instrument that rewards experimenting\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA harmonica is one of the very few instruments a young child can make a genuinely pleasant sound on within seconds. Breathe in, breathe out, move it along - there is no wrong note to find and no technique to master first. That immediate success is what turns a curious child into one who keeps picking it up.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFrom there, improvisation happens naturally. Children discover that moving slowly produces a different effect from moving quickly, that breathing in sounds different from breathing out, and that they can accompany music playing in the room. It is musical exploration in its purest form.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eProduct details\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMetal harmonica with a bright, durable finish\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSized and weighted for small hands\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePart of the Janod Gioia early learning music range\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNo batteries, screens or sound effects required\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSuitable for children aged 3 years and over\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eAwakening the senses\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePlaying a wind instrument connects breath, hearing and hand movement in one action. Children develop breath control, learn to listen critically to the sound they are producing, and start to notice pitch and rhythm - the groundwork for any later musical learning, formal or otherwise.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eSmall, portable, and genuinely used\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt fits in a pocket, which means it goes to the park, in the car and on holiday. Unlike most children's instruments, it does not need a flat surface or a set-up, so it gets played far more often than something that lives on a shelf.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003ePart of a considered range\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Gioia collection is designed as a coordinated set of first instruments - bells, percussion and wind - in a shared bright palette. \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eA lovely, low-cost gift that introduces real music; collecting a few gives a child a small orchestra.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Janod","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47759856959666,"sku":"J07653","price":16.15,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0760\/8516\/6258\/files\/janod-wooden-harmonica-bird-floral-design-musical-toy.jpg?v=1794266719","url":"https:\/\/discounttoyco.com.au\/products\/janod-gioia-kids-harmonica","provider":"Discount Toy Co","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
