Gifts for children who love music

Instrument or toy

Toy instruments go out of tune and soon frustrate. A soprano ukulele or a beginner keyboard costs little more and lets them learn real songs.

Think about who will be listening

If the gift is going to someone else's home, keyboards with a headphone socket and microphones with adjustable volume are appreciated.

Frequently asked questions

Which instrument is easiest to start with?

The ukulele: it has four nylon strings, it is small and three chords are enough to play songs. From age 6 or 7 they can start with videos or a simple method book.

Why don't you show the exact price?

Amazon prices change several times a day and we do not want to show you one that is no longer right. We give a rough range (for example, €10 to €20) based on what we saw on the day we reviewed it; the real price is the one shown on Amazon when you click.
