Teachers have an important job, and an excellent teacher easily earns a place in our heart. Show your appreciation for a special music teacher with a unique gift. Here are my favorite gift ideas for piano instructors, orchestra teachers, band leaders, choral instructors, and musicians and music lovers of all kinds. Many of these ideas have a music theme – with piano, violin, guitar, or musical note decoration or styling. I’m sure you’ll get a good gift idea from browsing this website. Enjoy! 🙂

Musical Note Wall Clock Made of Wood & Glass – Great Gift Idea for a Music Classroom, or Home Decoration.   According to a customer review, this clock earns many positive complements, keeps time well, and arrived nicely packed. The customer thought it was worth twice the price he paid…. From just looking at the picture and seeing the price of other unique clocks online, I’d have to agree!

Music Themed Silk Tie, Great Gift for Him! – This would work well for any male music instructor!  This tie is beautiful! It is hand made by Antonio Ricci Couture. This is a great music lovers neck tie with a light cream color background with a picture of a violin on top of musical notes of “FANTASIA in C Minor” written by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart in 1785.

Musical Notes Coffee Mug Gift – Great Gift for the Music Teacher who Loves Tea or Coffee  I like the black & white music notes design. It holds 16 ounces and is microwave and dishwasher safe. Amazon had some funny music themed mugs too – but this is the one I thought was most attractive.

My Favorite Musician Sculpture! – Made in the USA – now that’s hard to find!  This is an excellent gift idea for a teacher who enjoys jazz. It features a jazz quartet. It is cut from steel and designed to hang on the wall. The reviews comment that the seller’s customer service is excellent, which is always a reassurance, especially when ordering a gift online!

Beautiful Violin Necklace for Her – Nice Jewelry Gift for a Music Teacher!  This beautiful charm comes with a chain and is gift boxed. I think the picture says about everything else!

Great Gift Idea for the Guitar Instructor or Music & Wine Lover! – Unique Metal Sculpture that doubles as a Wine Holder!  This wine caddy is a sculpture of a Guitar player! It’s sure a unique idea for a present.

Unique Piano Themed Gift – Decor for the Kitchen or Bathroom – I love the design of these fillable Soap or Lotion bottles!

Practical Gift for the Music Instructor – Music Portfolio Briefcase.  If your music instructor happens to be one of those who is always wearing musical ties, musical cuff links, t-shirts, and the whole nine yards, then perhaps something like this would be a better gift.

Violin Cuff Links Make a Great Gift for Him! – This is sure to be a very unique and memorable gift 🙂  These are ball cufflinks, made of nylon, brass, and plated with silver. They are hand made in the USA and come with a gift box. These are among the nicest music themed cufflinks I found on Amazon.

Sterling Silver Musical Notes Ring – Another Jewelry Gift Idea for a Music Lover

Headphone Cufflinks for Him – What are your music teacher’s tastes? Is this his style? Some people love headphones. This is ideal for the headphone lover!

Tote Bag for the Music Teacher – Great Graduation Gift Idea for the New Teacher!  A useful and thoughtful gift. I know that teachers often use tote bags to carry lesson plans, lunch, and other necessities. My Mom was a teacher, and she always had 3 or 4 of these bags to carry to and from work.

Not sure what to buy? – You may have noticed that I didn’t recommend any CDs or DVDs because those are often hard to pick out for someone else.   Buy them an Amazon gift card for a gift that you can’t go wrong with. Amazon has a huge selection of music CDs, music downloads, music videos, concerts, books, plus a ton of other things. Let your teacher have the fun of picking out their own gift!
