Music Concert Coloring Page

This Music Concert Coloring Page puts a young singer at center stage, eyes shut and mouth wide open, a microphone on its stand held in both hands, a tall speaker at each side and a row of raised hands in the dark below. A free printable music coloring page for ages 5 to 11 and for anyone who has just been to a show. A blank ribbon runs across the top with room to write a band name inside it.

How this coloring page was created

For this page, we entered the concept: "A singer at a microphone on a concert stage with lights above, speakers at the sides and a cheering crowd below" on Colorin AI and generated a print ready coloring page in seconds. The stage lights we asked for came back as a ribbon banner instead, empty across the middle and carrying a pair of notes at each end.

That swap turned out better than the request. Lights above the stage would have been small shapes in the top corners; the ribbon is the widest empty space on the sheet, and empty space with a border around it is an invitation. Most children write a name in it before coloring anything else.

Why this music coloring page is special

The crowd is drawn as hands and nothing else. There are no faces below the stage, only raised arms and the rounded tops of heads, which is what a singer actually sees from up there.

It also solves a problem this kind of scene usually has. A drawn crowd of faces is a page of tiny features that a child gives up on halfway; a crowd of hands is a row of large simple shapes that gets colored in a couple of minutes.

Here is the count. Eight hands rise out of the dark, two of them making the horns sign with the first and last fingers up, and behind them five rounded shoulders stand in for the rest of the audience. The singer holds a microphone with a ridged head on a stand that opens into three legs at the floor. A speaker sits on either side of him, each drawn at an angle so its front panel and one side both show, with a small driver circle near the top, a larger one below it and a screw in each of its four corners. The stage floor is ruled with four long horizontal lines running behind his shoes, and the ribbon across the top carries a beamed pair of notes at its left end and another at its right, its ends notched into a V the way a real banner is cut.

Coloring Ideas and Techniques

Stage scenes look best when the background is darker than the figures. Coloring the floor and the speakers in deep tones leaves the singer as the lightest thing on the sheet, which is exactly what a spotlight does.

Save the ribbon for last and treat it as a sign rather than a shape. A name written in and then outlined in the same color used on the jacket ties the top of the page to the middle of it.
