FAQ about hiring a Children’s Musician

On average, a professional children’s musician costs $200-$500. This exact price will vary depending on your location, the length of the performance, the number of performers, and their skill level.

Musicians and bands specializing in children’s entertainment are generally interactive performers. They often use singalongs, games, and other participation-oriented activities combining music and movement as part of their act to make it fun and memorable for children of all ages.

Because we have over 150,000 event service providers on GigSalad, we do not run background checks on everyone who signs up. However, we do closely monitor the content and interactions on GigSalad and hold our members to our terms of use and standards of conduct.

We always encourage event planners to ask as many questions as they need to feel comfortable and confident when hiring party entertainment for their event. If there is ever anything that appears suspicious or causes them to feel uncomfortable, we want to know so that we can handle the situation accordingly.

Many of our performers have their own insurance and background checks available to clients, so that can be one of the questions you ask your children’s party performer before booking.

Children entertainers and musicians can be hired for a variety of events. From backyard parties to festivals to school assemblies, no event is too big or too small. Children’s musicians may infuse stories, special voices, and even costumed characters into their music and can engage children of any age with the diversity of their show. Whether they perform on stage in front of hundreds or they appear to a small group of 10-12 kids. And remember, children’s musical entertainment isn’t just for school ages kids, early childhood music is also perfect for toddlers and even a baby’s first birthday party.
