Everybody wants to give a gift that will be unique, memorable, and mostly will be enjoyed by the recipient.

If you have a musician in your life, then chances are you hear them practicing from time to time. To work on what musicians call their ‘time feel’ they will often use a device called a metronome, which uses consistently timed clicks or beeps to give the user an external timekeeping method. This will allow the musician in your life to improve their time to feel while they practice. Having a good time is a crucial skill for any musician, so this gift could be really helpful. 

Tuner

Another useful practice tool that you can get for the musician in your life is called a tuner. These tuners use digital technology to help let musicians know where on a given pitch their tuning is relative to a standard A440. A440 is the standardized tuning note used by many musicians and is important to use for modern recording and performing. In a musical situation, it is less important than the band uses A440, and more important that they are in tune with each other. This usually means that a band will often tune to a piano since they are often the hardest to retune or use digital intonation software. 

Record player

In the last few years, there has been a large resurgence in the overall popularity of record players, and vinyl in general. This means that the music lover in your life would probably love something like this for a Christmas gift. If you are unfamiliar with record players, then you should do some research on the different options available, such as the Crosley turntable, and others. Experts at Rockit discuss the different ways in which this type of record player can give you a uniquely intimate, and also aesthetically pleasing way to listen to your favorite records. If the music lover in your life has been listening to their records on an old worn-out record player, then this gift can make quite the impact around Christmas time.

Lessons

The best gift you could ever give any musician is the ability to consistently improve their craft, and become more expressive on their instrument. A great way to accomplish this is by taking regular lessons to be constantly improving, and making the instrument feel more effortless to play. Since most performances have been put on hold due to the coronavirus pandemic, now might be a better time than ever to take advantage of your free time, and get better through some lessons. 

New instrument

One thing that musicians can almost never get enough of is new instruments. For many people, getting a new instrument is like having another child. For this reason, an instrument can be an excellent way to get a good gift for the music enthusiast in your life. Consult some local stores, the internet, and you should be able to find something which is a good fit for a gift, regardless of your budget. The amazing thing about instruments is that they can cost pennies or tens of thousands of dollars. It all depends on what kind of instrument you are looking at, and how much you are willing to spend.
