Five Star Gift Ideas

How wonderful that your son has found a passion for playing the harp! Here are a few gift ideas that could help him further his love for the instrument:

1. Sheet music: Whether your son is just starting out or is already a skilled player, sheet music is always a great gift. There is a vast array of music available for the harp, from classical to contemporary, so you can find pieces that will both challenge and inspire him. You could even consider purchasing some rare or out-of-print music to make the gift even more special.

2. Harp accessories: There are a number of accessories that can enhance a harp player's playing experience. For example, a good-quality music stand can help him more easily read and play his music, while a comfortable bench can make long practice sessions more enjoyable. Other accessories that could make great gifts include a carrying case, a tuning key, or a set of replacement strings.

3. Harp lessons: Depending on your son's skill level, he may benefit from working with a professional harp teacher. You could gift him a few private lessons with a local teacher, or you could search online for reputable online harp teachers if you don't have any in your area. Alternatively, if he's already working with a teacher, you could offer to pay for a few extra lessons to help him progress even further.

4. Harp-related experiences: If your son is passionate about the harp, there are a number of experiences you could gift him that would allow him to explore his love for the instrument even further. For example, you could look for a performance by a harpist he admires and buy tickets for the two of you to attend together. You could also look for a harp-making workshop, where he could learn more about the construction of the instrument and even build his own harp.

5. A new harp: If your son has been playing on the same harp for a while, he may be ready for an upgrade. This can be a significant investment, but it could be an excellent opportunity to show your support for his passion and dedication. Do some research into the type of harps he's interested in and find a reputable dealer or manufacturer in your area.

Whatever you choose, I'm sure your son will appreciate your thoughtfulness and support of his love for the harp!

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.”
