Music Lessons as Christmas Gifts

Finding a mentor and teacher can be a bit of a trail as you begin your search, it's often hard to understand that your intent here is often not expressed well when interviewing and finding a teacher. Every student should get some mentoring and instruction especially on the technique side of playing an instrument.

If you've been a reader of mine you know that I'm biased in that I believe that most music teachers do not spend nearly enough time on music structure, that is music theory and how music principles can really accelerate the learning ability of a student when they have that fundamental knowledge in place early in their studies.

If you're child or friend is getting a new instrument as a gift for Xmas you may want to consider getting them some great lesson materials to ensure their success as musicians.

Here are the best music related gifts for learning music as a self-study program.

Gifting Music Lessons: Here's how you might handle these gifts that are in electronic delivery, however some are in DVD format. For DVD sets and hardbound materials, get your order in early just like any other gift you'll need delivered. For the electronic delivery you have a couple of options.

If you get the full eBooks or course materials electronically you can copy them down, put them on a portable thumb drive or USB style drive and wrap them up by printing out a cover page.

For a subscription you will likely want to wait until the day before gifting and begin the subscription by entering the recipients email. Make sure you tell them quickly as you don't want them thinking its spam or something like that. Get a card and let them know what you've done.

I was talking with a friend of mine that has been learning and playing guitar for a while and was taking one of these styles of online video courses. He's major hang up was that he didn't learn music theory and found it very frustrating that he was unable to read and understand music. It was taking far longer to learn songs than he thought. After our discussion he is now taking the GIDC Music Course as indicated above.
