Five Star Gift Ideas

For your son who loves learning musical instruments, there are a few gift ideas that can enhance his passion for music and support his musical journey.

1. Instrument or Accessory: Consider gifting him an instrument that he has been longing to learn or upgrade his current one. If he already plays the piano, you could surprise him with a keyboard that has advanced features or a digital piano. If he aspires to learn the guitar, a high-quality acoustic guitar or an electric guitar set would be perfect. Alternatively, you could gift him a flute or another instrument he has expressed interest in. If he already has the instrument he desires, you can choose to get him high-quality accessories such as a guitar stand, metronome, tuner, or a new music stand to enhance his playing experience.

2. Music Lessons: Enrolling him in music lessons would allow him to deepen his knowledge and skills in playing his chosen instrument. Search for local music schools or private instructors who specialize in teaching the instrument he loves. If he prefers learning at his own pace, you could look into online music lesson subscriptions or downloadable lessons tailored to his instrument. This gift not only helps him improve but also provides him with mentorship and guidance.

3. Sheet Music and Books: Enhance his repertoire by gifting him sheet music or books containing his favorite songs or pieces for his instrument. Look for sheet music from his favorite artists and genres, or books that teach different playing techniques and music theory. This gift will inspire him to explore new music and broaden his skills.

4. Musical Gadgets: There are numerous gadgets available that aim to improve a musician's experience. Consider gifting him a portable recording device so he can capture his practice sessions or an audio interface to connect his instrument to a computer for recording or creating music digitally. Additionally, a loop pedal can be lots of fun for experimenting and creating layered compositions, regardless of his chosen instrument.

5. Concert Tickets: Find out if any of his favorite musicians or bands are performing nearby and surprise him with concert tickets. Attending live performances can be incredibly inspiring for budding musicians and can expose him to different musical styles and techniques.

6. Music-related Accessories: There are various gift options in this category, such as musician-themed clothing, personalized guitar picks, or a portable music stand that he can take to his lessons or performances. You could also consider personalized music-themed jewelry, like a pendant or a bracelet, to show your support for his musical passion.

Remember, the best gift is one that fits your son's personality and interests. Keep in mind his preferred instrument and music style when selecting any gift. Whatever you choose, the thoughtfulness and support behind the gift will certainly mean a lot to him.

Or you can get him a star map with an important date you share.

Madeline Moran Weiler says about Under Lucky Stars star maps:

“The map was absolutely beautiful! My grandson was thrilled with it (it was a Christmas gift) and has already asked me if I would consider getting another one for him as a graduation gift in a couple of years.”
