          How to develop emotional intelligence in kids with the RAV Vast: methods and steel tongue drum reviews

          Child’s cry is a thing we want to avoid, but if your child tends to cry and act up, it actually can be a sign he or she just can’t manage emotions properly. Emotional intelligence is a crucial skill. We learn the basics in our childhood and on developing it throughout our whole life. It helps us to distinguish people’s emotions and successfully manage ours (especially unpleasant ones). But what if a child faces a problem here?

          Music can help! Playing the RAV Vast (especially the B Celtic, D Major and B Major) is a joyful method to develop emotional intelligence that is very accessible for kids. How can a child become calm, relaxed and happy by playing the RAV Vast? Keep on reading to know!


          My kid looks fine. Why do I need to care about his emotional intelligence?

          Even if your child looks fine he can experience difficulties in both controlling and expressing emotions. By developing emotional intelligence, children can understand themselves and others better, communicate easily and relieve negative emotional feelings. Without a need to mention, this skill will be of use when they get to college or work or build personal relationships.

          In addition to providing your child more options for communication, playing music is a powerful tool to develop emotional intelligence.

          Any musical composition provides certain emotional information. The recent scientific researches have suggested that the same areas of our brain are involved in the process of musical perception and emotional analysis. By boosting musical playing skills our emotional awareness level gets trained as well.

          The great perk about the RAV Vast is that your child can start playing the instrument, compose melodies right away and learn to distinguish emotional background of music.

          Best RAV Vast for kids: steel tongue drum reviews

          DSC_1685.jpg

          What handpan/tongue drum should you buy for a child? It’s a headache-question for a parent, as the variety of the RAV drums available for sale in our online store is abundant.

          Without making you read all the steel tongue drum reviews, we recommend choosing the RAV Vast as a more accessible instrument for kids. Unlike the handpans, the tongue drum tuning is no need. The RAV Vast is also very durable – the tongue drum steel is resistant to rust and damages. Besides, according to our customers, children are surprisingly accurate with the RAV Vast being captivated by its extremely tender voice and shining beauty.

          What RAV scale do we recommend to take for boosting your child’s emotional intelligence?

          If your child tends to be melancholic and introverted, and is often sad for no reason, opt for one of the uplifting scales – the D Major or the B Major. They provide a joyful sunny feel and a set of happy emotions.

          Hyperactive kids will enjoy the soothing voice of the B Celtic. This drum has a minor, relaxing and very tender voice providing the feel of care and tenderness.  

          Ideas to use the RAV’s steel tongue percussion drum for kids and parents

          Option 1 – Musical house

          Take a piece of paper, crayons and draw a house with 9 rooms plus nine cards with the names of the RAV Vast notes. Ask the child to play each note and describe what feeling this note provides. Is it sad or happy? Let him place the card with the note in one of the rooms and color the room according to the note’s mood (sad notes with gray, happy notes - with red, for ex.). Now when all the notes are placed, ask him to play them on the drum again, guess the note and its mood, and show the room in the house where the note lives. This exercise works better for younger children and will teach your child to determine and name emotions.

          Option 2 – emotional cards

          Take cards and write different emotions – happiness, anger, frustration, etc. Put the cards face down. Ask the kid to take a card (don’t let him show you what’s written) and represent this emotion for you by creating a short melody with the RAV Vast (you can also involve using mimics). Now change the roles. This exercise will work for kids from 6 to 10+ and will teach them to determine and express the emotions (and also boost some acting skills).
