As a teacher, I am always looking for ideas on what to gift my students. There are always occasions I am needing a gift: whether that be for a holiday, an occasion such as a birthday or graduation, or for an accomplishment of theirs. I also have parents, grandparents or friends and family who want to give a gift to a piano student for any number of reasons. This is my go-to list if I want to find the right gift for the right occasion!
1. Give the Gift of Endless Learning
The most phenomenal gift you could give a piano student is to give them all you can to help them succeed at piano! Forgive me for my passion here, but I just get so excited when I think about what an amazing gift this would be. Pianoforall is an online piano course for a one time, phenomenal price that will benefit them for life as it has free updates for life. It has over 200 videos and lessons, but what piano students will also love is the 9 e-books that let them explore other music styles. They can choose what they want to learn and go for it!
I highly recommend you checking out Pianoforall. It has been used over and over (with over a quarter million students) by piano students since 2006 and it is the best course you can take online for its incredible value. The testimonials speak for itself — just go read a few of them, their are tons of amazing reviews as piano students go from knowing nothing, to playing within days. 60 days, money back guarantee, and even then, it has a return rate below 4%. It is extremely affordable with only a one time payment and free updates for life. You won’t find another program out there with that kind of value and that kind of positive feedback.
2. “You are Ah-Mason!” Jars
These cute DIY mason jars can be versatile for any occasion and for any accomplishment! You can fill it with a random assortments of goodies or knick knacks such as you can find here on Lolly Jane, or you can fill it with the receiver’s favorite candy!
3. Chill Pills
Awesome for a piano student getting ready for a recital! Wouldn’t it be fun and give the piano student a big smile on his/her face if they got something before getting up in front of the crowd?! It could be just the thing they need to calm their nerves and get them to relax a little before the big debut. 
4. Everything in a Jar
What’s better than everything you need all packaged up in a jar? This has got to be one of the cleverest DIY gift ideas that any piano student would love. After all that hard work, who wouldn’t need a little pampering, or a little bit of energy to keep up the hard work, or by golly, just a bit of refreshment after all their blood, sweat, and tears?! 
5. Tissue Box of Money by the Piano
Give this to your student, saying to leave it by the piano. One day, they are surely going to need it! Remind them to think of you whenever they see it. Boy will they be surprised when they pull out a tissue one day to find what other treasures are in there! 
6. Treble Clef Pendant
Simple, but elegant, this is a beautiful yet affordable necklace that they can enjoy for any occasion or to dress up their outfit for their big performance!
7. Music Mug
This is one of the most ideal music mugs I have seen out there. Not only is it beautiful, it is insulated the whole time while at the piano, and it’s CLOSED so it won’t be a worry about spilling all over the piano instrument – spilling would be a mistake that could cause irreparable damage! Stay safe with this one.
8. Headphones
Having thousands of customer ratings at 4.5 star, these headphones are on the wishlist of any musician. Pianists, or any musician, truly appreciate each and every detail in their music and love to be completely immersed in a beautifully clear listening experience. Whether or not you use this for an electric piano, or just to enjoy music through your device, a good solid pair of earphones is a must have for musicians and would make an excellent gift!
9. Gift Cards to a local music store or iTunes
Needless to say, a gift card to the music your musician loves is a fantastic gift that will make them smile. Countless ways to use up this baby!
10. Piano Sheet Music
Checkout the best sellers piano list off of Amazon and choose something your musician will enjoy. Besides method books, you have Disney music books, The Greatest Showman piano music, and Hamilton. 100 of the Most Beautiful Piano Solos Ever is listed as one of the top best sellers.
11. Bluetooth Speaker
Every musician needs a bluetooth speaker and with tens of thousands of reviews at a 4.5 star rating, this one is not only awesome, it fits the budget!
12. Metronome
I have a love/hate relationship with these things. I love what they do for my music and for my performance, but man they can drive me crazy! Regardless, a metronome is a must-have for all pianists, whether beginner or advanced! This metronome is small enough to travel with you, but with all the bells and whistles you need. It is also a great price.
13. Music Neckties
What better than to have a necktie to wear to your performances? This one can be worn with pride! 
14. Pocket Size Essential Dictionary of Music Notation
This little pocket sized dictionary of music notation is perfect for referring to for the correct notation of music. Handy and conveniently sized, this will be a prized possession! 
A reference tool including definitions, composers, and theory. Easy to reference and convenient to say the least! 
15. Music Magnetic Page Markers
These are so convenient for marking your page! These magnetic i-clip page markers will be used over and over again as you bookmark your pages in your music books. 
16. Music Journal
Everyone needs a music journal. For jotting down inspiration, for record keeping, for ideas about composing, for new song titles, etc. This music journal is the perfect size with a band to keep all those thoughts safe and closed in. The left side is lined for jotting down those thoughts and ideas, the right page is staff, for writing down any compositions.
