Ideas for a Music Themed Birthday Party in Los Angeles
If you’re considering a music themed birthday party for your child, you’ve come to the right place!
This post shares a few creative ideas for how to throw the best music themed birthday party possible. These are fun and budget-friendly things you can try to make the celebration fun and memorable for everyone!
- Choose a genre and create a playlist: Pick your child’s favorite type of music, whether it’s rock, pop or classical, and create a playlist of songs to play at the party. You can also ask guests to bring their own favorite tunes to add to the mix. If you’re in a rush, check out Minibop’s Spotify playlists full of age-appropriate kids music.
- Set up a dance floor and have a dance party: Clear an area for dancing and invite guests to bust a move to the music. You can also hire a DJ or have a parent “act” as the DJ for the music themed party.
- Have a karaoke contest: Set up a karaoke machine and let guests take turns singing their favorite songs. You can even have a panel of judges to pick the best performer. You can buy an affordable microphone toy like the one below ($25) and lookup karaoke lyrics videos on YouTube.
You could also use the new Apple Music karaoke mode!
This karaoke microphone toy is $25 on Amazon:
- Play musical games: There are many musical games that are fun for a kids music birthday party theme, such as musical chairs, freeze dance, and musical statues. You can also create your own games, such as a scavenger hunt for musical instruments or a sing-along competition.
- Decorate with musical touches: Add some music-themed decorations to the party space, such as musical notes, instruments, and album covers. You can also have guests wear music-themed costumes or accessories, such as rock star sunglasses or tutus for a ballet-themed party.
- Create a Disney-themed music party: Every Disney movie is full of music. Throw a party with your child’s favorite Disney movie as the theme! Some favorites we’ve seen are Moana themed parties and Frozen themed parties! Get costumes and snacks that fit the theme – and of course, get the music!

Incorporate Live Music with Minibop!
You can also incorporate live music from professional musicians.
How do you do that?
With Minibop!
We love bringing our fun and educational music entertainment to private music themed birthday parties across Los Angeles.
Listening to music and watching live music are two very different experiences, each with its own unique benefits. While simply listening to music can be enjoyable and relaxing, there are many developmental benefits for children in actually seeing live music.
Why Live Music?
More Engaging
One of the main differences between listening to music and watching live music is the level of engagement. When you listen to music, you are passive, simply allowing the sounds to wash over you. But when you watch live music, you are actively participating in the experience. You can see the musicians performing and interact with them, which can be much more stimulating and fun experience for your music themed birthday party.
Our music teachers have experience performing for toddlers. It’s hard to sing and play guitar and keep children fully engaged all at the same time, but our amazing team makes it look easy!
Use Social Skills
Another benefit of watching live music is that it can help children develop their social skills. At a live music event, children can interact with other audience members and learn how to behave in a social setting. This can be especially beneficial for children who are shy or have difficulty socializing with others.
Cognitive Development
In addition, watching live music can also help children develop their cognitive skills. Even if only for one hour, by observing the musicians and the way they interact with each other and the music, children can learn about teamwork, coordination, and problem-solving. They can also learn about different musical styles and instruments, which can expand their musical knowledge and appreciation!
One study review called “The cognitive benefits of live music attendance: a systematic review” by Lauren J. Sergent, Rachel E. McNair, and Christopher J. Plummer (2017) examined the cognitive benefits of attending live music events.
The authors identified ten studies that met their inclusion criteria and found that attending live music events had a positive effect on cognitive functioning, including increased attention, memory, and social cohesion.

Safety and Security is Part of Our Promise
Letting party entertainment vendors into your home and around children requires trust.
We understand.
That’s why every Minibop music teacher undergoes a comprehensive background check. We also closely monitor our teachers’ health, and any shared items distributed at parties are sanitized twice.
We Want to Celebrate with You!
Celebrating children’s birthdays is a fun and exciting time, and a music themed party is a unique and memorable way to mark the occasion. Minibop’s music themed parties are designed to be fun and engaging, while also providing an educational experience.
We bring all the instruments for children to play. We can also provide group activities such as a large gathering drum and bubble wands.
Our parties are a blast for kids, and they’re a great way to introduce children to the joy of making music together. We’ll sing, dance, play instruments and socialize with one another. And of course, we’ll sing a very special Happy Birthday song to the birthday child!
