Did you know you can gift music lessons to your family and friends? Music lessons bring lasting joy, making them a meaningful gift. Whether they’re complete beginners or looking to enhance their musical skills, music lessons are perfect for everyone.
You can choose between a single lesson or a package, specify the instrument, and even select the lesson duration for the recipient. Platforms like Lesson With You offer flexible scheduling without contracts and competitive pricing, making it easy for anyone to gift music lessons.
Gift Idea 2: Instruments
Gifting instruments is also a fantastic holiday idea, especially if you want your child or grandchild to start learning an instrument as a new hobby. The piano is the most popular choice for beginners, followed by guitar, singing and drum.
Here are some recommendations for purchasing pianos, guitars, or drum sets for family and friends. For other instruments like the violin or trumpet, it’s best to consult with an instructor or a nearby music store for recommendations.
Digital Piano or Keyboard
Yamaha P71 Digital Keyboard
Liquid Stands Adjustable Piano Bench – Padded
Additionally, a keyboard stand is a great gift. You can adjust its height to make sure the keyboard is set at the perfect level. Some players place their digital keyboards on a desk or table, but it’s important to play at the correct height for proper posture.

Guitar
Guitar is another popular instrument that’s easy to get started with—all you need is the instrument! The main types are acoustic, electric, bass, and ukulele. For kids under 7 or 8, a ukulele (a smaller version of an acoustic guitar) can be a great gift—and it’s more affordable than regular guitars.

Drumset
If you’re thinking about gifting a drum set, there are two options: mesh pads or an acoustic drum set. While mesh pads offer a similar stick rebound to a real acoustic snare drum, the feel isn’t exactly the same. However, they’re close enough to help develop technique and are much quieter than real drums—perfect for smaller spaces.
