Give the gift of a musical instrument to your child this Christmas!

Christmas is coming soon! Many of you may be thinking about what to give to your children as gifts. At Sound House, we have a wide selection of musical instruments that you may want to give for Christmas, and I am sure that you will find the perfect gift for your child.

Music not only nurtures children’s creativity and sensitivity, but it also has a positive effect on brain development and concentration. But, what kind of instrument should you choose? The right instrument depends on the child’s age, interests, and personality.

So, I have thought about what musical instruments would be the perfect gifts to send to children, and we hope you will find this information useful when going shopping for Christmas gifts!

Choose an instrument appropriate for your child’s age

For children under 3, I recommend instruments that are easy to play and have attractive colors and shapes. Examples include percussion instruments such as castanets, tambourines, and maracas, and wind instruments such as harmonicas and ocarinas. Toddlers are attracted to musical instruments that easily produce sound through motions like tapping or blowing! They can develop a sense of sound and rhythm while freely making sounds through play.

Zen-On / BTB-PEBL (Tambourine/Penguin Blue)

This is a tambourine in the shape of a penguin. It’s a cute design, isn’t it? There are other animal shapes such as a bear and a koala, and I recommend you to choose one that matches what your child likes.

PLAYTECH / PSS100 Slide Whistle

This is a cute whistle with a distinctive whistle sound. This inexpensive instrument can be played for a long time, and as a wind instrument, I recommend this one since the sound is so easy to produce!

Rhythm Poco / RP-940/DS Drum Set

This gorgeous drum set combines three drums of different sizes with large and small brass cymbals, as well as a wood block with a güiro!
Any child who receives this for Christmas will be ecstatic!

For children between the ages of 4 and 6, I think that it’s a good idea for them to try instruments that are a little more challenging. Examples include the piano or keyboard, and stringed instruments such as the guitar or ukulele. These instruments can play scales and chords which they can use to compose songs and melodies. All in all, children can acquire basic knowledge of music and expressive ability with these instruments.

PLAYTECH / PTP200 Toy Piano

Toy pianos are becoming standard Christmas gifts! These stunningly beautiful upright pianos can be played standing up depending on the age of the child. The square shape makes it easy to place up against the wall!

Suzuki / ANDES 25F Keyboard Harmonica

This keyboard harmonica is in a unique shape. If your child wants to show off his or her super cool skills on this super stylish keyboard harmonica, I recommend this one as a Christmas or holiday gift! I am sure you will be able to take good videos and photos of your kids’ playing!

Loog / Mini Acoustic Green

Just looking at this work of art for children just makes you want to buy one! I recommend this awesome learning instrument for younger children since this guitar only has three strings, which is less than a ukulele and it’s easier for little people to learn to play on.

Choose an instrument that matches your child’s interests and personality

For children ages 7 and older, it might be a good idea to choose an instrument that matches their favorite genre or style of music. Examples include percussion instruments such as drum sets, wind instruments such as saxophones and trumpets, and string instruments such as guitars and violins. These instruments require technique and practice, but your children will eventually be able to play with others in a band or orchestra, and they will be able to develop cooperative and communication skills through their instruments.

PLAYTECH / PDS-750 Electronic Drums

If your child is interested in playing drums, you can give him or her a set of electronic drums as a gift! Your child can practice with headphones, so he or she can enjoy playing drums in the comfort of your own home (without disturbing you or your neighbors).

PLAYTECH / PTTR-200 Bb Trumpet Clear Lacquer Finish

Since the Christmas season is upon us, I would like to introduce the trumpet from the wind instrument section. This is an affordable trumpet with a lovely gold color, so it is a perfect Christmas gift!

Tagima Guitars / Vancouver EQ Natural

This is what is called an “acoustic-electric guitar”! You can connect it to an amp and it also sounds great unplugged, so it’s sure to lift your spirits! How about getting your little future musician one for Christmas?

Choose an instrument that will easily spark an interest in music

For children who have never been actively exposed to music or musical instruments, I recommend showing them some fun and unique instruments. Examples include unusual instruments such as the kalimba, the Rhythm Pal Drum, or a music pad. These instruments are different from other instruments in the way they produce sound and the kind of sounds that they produce, so they are likely to spark interest and peak curiosity.

Sela Cajon / SEKL17SS

This is a standard kalimba tuned to the C major scale. It has a soothing sound, so even if children play it a lot in the house, it will not be noisy. The design is also stylish, so it will also work as a hip display in a child’s room!

Remo / RP-0613-70-SD099 Rhythm Pal Drum

A percussion instrument that lets you easily enjoy the sounds of the tropics.

Suzuki / MP-8 Music Pad

This music pad allows you to enjoy music using your body by pressing, tapping, and stepping on the pad. By pressing the pad, air is pushed out of the pad, causing the internal reeds to vibrate and make sounds. Your child can enjoy music while moving his or her little body!

I hope you enjoyed my list of recommended musical instruments for Christmas gifts.
Music is a wonderful gift for children’s growth and development. I hope you will choose the right instrument for your child and you can share the joy of music with him or her.
