Many believe that a song is better when children sing it. Some go further. This is when the children don't just sing, but also play instruments.

* An episode of Baby Looney Tunes saw the gang form a band for Granny. It went as well as could be expected for a gang of infants.

* Willow Smith
* Stevie Wonder -- from the beginning, he played the piano, and he was about seven in the beginning.

Ah yes, children and music. Everyone knows that [[KidsRock a choir of the young'uns]] can make a song better, so what about taking things the next step and making the kids ''themselves'' the musicians? That's where this trope comes in.

Often, by sheer dint of meddling with things they don't understand, they will be of decidedly poor quality, but there are exceptions in the odd [[ChildProdigy junior genius]].

We all know that a children's choir can make a performer's song better. But what if the children themselves are the performers? That's where this trope comes in. They tend to be cover bands, but some do put out original works. Quality varies: some can be utterly execrable, whereas others just happen to be [[ChildProdigy junior prodigies]]. Some, as they grow, may join {{Boy Band}}s or become {{Teen Idol}}s on their own.\\
