For your music-loving grandpa, there are several thoughtful and inspiring gift ideas to consider. As he enjoys learning musical instruments, here are a few suggestions:

2. Music Theory Books: Consider purchasing books on music theory that can help your grandpa deepen his understanding of chords, scales, and composition. Look for ones specifically designed for guitar, piano, or his instrument of choice.

3. Instrument Accessories: Enhance your grandpa's playing experience by gifting him high-quality instrument accessories. For a guitarist, you can consider a new set of strings, a capo, or a guitar tuner. For a pianist, consider a comfortable piano bench, sheet music, or even a metronome.

4. Sheet Music: If your grandpa enjoys playing specific songs from a particular artist or era, gift him sheet music of his favorite tunes. It is a practical and sentimental gift that he can enjoy while mastering new songs on his instrument.

5. Professional Music Stand: Help your grandpa upgrade his practice sessions by gifting him a sturdy and adjustable music stand. It will enable him to place his sheet music or tablet at a comfortable height while playing, thus enhancing his learning experience.

7. Concert Tickets: Surprise your grandpa with tickets to a music concert or show of his favorite artist or band. Watching live performances can be highly motivating and inspiring, as well as an opportunity for him to witness professional musicians playing his beloved instrument.

8. Customized Picks or Drumsticks: For a personal touch, consider ordering customized guitar picks or drumsticks with your grandpa's name, initials, or a meaningful message engraved on them. It will make his practice sessions and performances feel even more special.

9. Songwriting Journal: Encourage your grandpa's creative side by gifting him a songwriting journal. With enough space for lyrics and musical notations, it will allow him to document his ideas and compose his own music.
