I have been seriously active in the field ofCompos.I started my career in 1997 by collaborating with the Music Department of the Central Khorasan Broadcasting Corporation, and since 2000 I have continued my work in collaboration with the Music Department of the Islamic Republic of Iran Broadcasting Corporation in Tehran.

♠In your opinion, is the music in children’s programs appropriate and dignified for children, and how do you evaluate the progress of children’s music production in the country?

🌸 In my opinion, mostMusic for children’s programsand dynamic network are not suitable and valuable works, and one of the main reasons for this isThe producers and programmers are not familiar with music in general and children’s music in particular.And the lack of ability to distinguish good music from low-value and vulgar music, while children’s music is a completely specialized and professional field and its creation should be left to trained and literate composers. In recent years, whenOrganization Music CenterIt was not as semi-closed and busy as it is today, especially during the time of the deceased.Professor Fereydoun NaseriValuable works in the field of children’s music were created in the organization, which are no longer known today. Another thing is that in music, like other arts, and perhaps more than other arts, the habits of the audience are formed from childhood, and children’s listening habits are maintained until the end. Life will be with them, and from here the importance of children’s music becomes clear to us, and we cannot expect children who have heard and seen nothing but vulgar and vulgar music in their childhood to connect with noble and serious music in adulthood.

♠What is your suggestion for composing music that is appropriate for a child audience, and what factors do you consider necessary to produce appropriate music?

🌸 In productionChildren’s musicIn short, in my opinion, the most important factorsSongAndMelodyThey are working and thenAdjustmentBecausekidsWhen listening to a piece morePoetryAndMelodyThey pay attention to it.The melody of children’s music should be simple and flowing, free from melodic complexities and unfamiliar intervals.And the correct combination of melody and lyrics are also important factors in creating children’s music. In arranging the pieces, one should alsoHarmony (disambiguation)sPsycheAnd attractively used andHarmony (disambiguation)sComplexAvoid. You can alsoChildren’s musicIt was used to teach and convey human and moral concepts, and it indirectly conveyed these concepts to children, and of course it was a very necessary condition for this work.…of music. ”It is in attractive and artistic formats.

♠Please name a few standard musical works for children, both domestic and foreign, and describe their characteristics?

🌸 Since you have dealt with a child, the language of a child must be broadened today.Children’s musicIt is of little importance in the national and other media, and this is despite the fact thatComposersThere are many successful and experienced people in this field, but media managers have not given them much importance and do not give them much importance. The result of this inattention is that today our children are completely familiar with Western and imported music and foreign animation characters and do not associate them with celebrities and great people. We ourselves are foreigners, and we have not provided them with appropriate artistic and cultural food, and unfortunately, it must be said that today is too late. From the finest examplesChildren’s musicYou can go to the music album “Rainbow Color“This collection was created more than 40 years ago, before the revolution, byMaster Samin BaghchebanIt was made so that it could be compared with the works of theChildren’s musicToday is disappointing! Also to the album “The song of seasons and colorscreatedFariborz LachiniIt can be mentioned. In foreign children’s music, animation music produced by the company is usuallyWalt Disney(Regardless of cultural differences) they are popular and successful works.
