Keyboard player gifts are usually a great idea for someone who loves to tinkle the ivories. A keyboard player is usually pretty fanatical, and it is a good idea to buy a gift for someone that is related to something they are passionate about.
It’s hard to buy gifts for anyone, but if you know a keyboard player then you might be able to take advantage of this passion to get them something they can use in relation to their keyboard, to give them some inspiration or just to show off their keyboard skills!
In this post, we’re looking at the very best keyboard player gifts, including some original ideas.
Songbooks
Okay, so we can access the sheet music to most songs online these days, for instance, Pianu makes it easy to enjoy loads of easy songs to start playing the keyboard.
A songbook can still make a personal gift. If you know what kind of music your keyboard playing friend is into then it is easy to buy them a book that they will love.
Songbooks can be based on genres, so if they love blues, why not get them a songbook featuring this genre such as the “12-bar Blues Bible“. These sorts of books are nice things to own, and collections of songs that otherwise could be hard to find.
Another great way to buy songbooks is to find out your keyboard playing friend’s favorite albums. Songbooks can then be bought to both help them learn how to play and just as a form of merchandise to remind them of their favorite composers and bands, and the albums that they hold dearest.
Recording Equipment
If your keyboard playing friend is talented and advanced in their keyboard playing, you might want to buy them some recording gear, this can enable them to add to their repertoire of skills!
Recording equipment can be pretty simple, and in this day and age, you can find USB microphones that will do a perfectly good job of recording their playing. Help them share their gift with the world by buying recording gear as keyboard player gifts. If you’re worried about them not knowing what to do then you might also look to purchase a guide for recording equipment.
Band or Musician Merch
It makes sense that good keyboard player gifts are something that can help to inspire them to play more. When we listen to other musicians we tend to be inspired to go away and do our own thing. Why not do some research on what musicians the keyboard player is currently into and make a purchase based on this?
Anything from band t-shirts to special edition releases of albums can be a great gift for a keyboard player.
Keyboard Accessories
There are loads of different accessories out there, and this can be a little bit difficult when buying as a gift as you might not know exactly what your keyboard playing friend or family member already has.
If you know they need something like a gig bag, a stand or a piano bench then these can be great gifts. A beginner keyboard player may need a lot of equipment as they don’t necessarily have a full setup.
A lot of keyboards can easily be used with amplifiers and even things like sustain pedals and effects pedals can make good keyboard player gifts, and encourage them to keep working on their skills.
Whatever you choose to buy for your keyboard player loved ones, be sure to give it some thought based on what they are most passionate about, do they love a certain band or style of music?
