Such special musicians, probably, are talented, hard-working, working for the sake of obtaining an excellent result, they, like any people of art, are very interesting acquaintances and friends. But once a year the fatal question arises of what to give a musician for his birthday; it is more complicated than it might seem, because musicians are such subtle natures that it can be extremely problematic to find a gift for them. And it is with this problem that this article is intended to help you figure it out.
Musicians are people of a fine mental organization; such individuals will highly appreciate the gift associated with their favorite pastime.
Gifts-tools
This category of gifts may not be suitable for all givers. Without understanding musical instruments, you can fly into a tidy, buying a terrible instrument at an excessively high price, and even a friend will not be satisfied with this. So it's not worth the risk.
But in the case when the donor really understands musical instruments, give a friend flute or the pipe, which he so desires - a just thing. New strings on the guitar, bows for the violin - all of these are also part of the instruments, so it falls into this category of gifts.
There are also exceptional cases when a bad instrument can be presented to a musician. If a particular instrument has a unique flavor of folklore, for example, as guitar Ural, it can be presented as a presentation joke. True, there are such bad, but overgrown with stories tools, no less good and good.
Gifts accessories
If you don't have enough money for a new instrument, but you still want to give a musician friend something related to his hobby, you can turn your attention to accessories.
Gift accessories will certainly delight the recipient.
The first thing that would be appropriate from this category of gifts is case for his own instrument... Cases for guitars, flutes, double basses are a very necessary thing that quickly gets worn out and becomes unusable (if, of course, you do not follow it). In addition, some of them can also be decorated in an unusual and beautiful way, so that even one glance at the cover reminds the musician of the donor.
Beltssupporting instruments on stage are also needed. This concerns, first of all, all the same guitars, and secondly - weighty wind instruments such as trumpet and saxophone. They can also be completely different, so you can choose to suit the taste of a particular person. Do not forget about mediatorsand tuning forks.
Decorations for instruments - especially popular musical instruments such as guitar and drums - are inexpensive, but can give an original look to any item. Many musicians will be happy to receive stickers, stickers, various unusual gizmos that can be mounted on a non-playing instrument body, so they can stand out from a huge number of competitors.
The original stickers give the instrument a unique look.
Gifts for Learning Theory
Gifts for musicians do not have to be associated with instruments. The theoretical side of the issue is also important. Mostly we are talking here, of course, about books: tutorials, style history reviewers etc. A consultant in a highly specialized store will help you to find such literature.
Also an interesting option can be books about the life and career of celebrities (singers, musicians) that the birthday person is equal to. However, the works written by them - idols - are also suitable.
Encyclopedias on the history of rock, classical music, jazz, as well as collections of magazines for professional musicians - a very good choice of gifts. The main thing is not to be mistaken with what exactly is interesting to a musician friend.
Impression gifts
The best gift for a musician is, of course, music! For those whose soul lies in classical works, a couple of tickets - suddenly a friend decides to go with some attractive girl - to the conservatory - the perfect present.
If a person loves rock more, then the choice is obvious: tickets to the concert of his favorite rock band. It is preferable, of course, to the fan zone, and not to the dance floor or the box: there you can hear better, and closer to the performers.
A ticket to a concert of your favorite artist is a great option to spend your time unforgettably.
For those who like singing more, the opera tickets or some musical. Classics like "Chicago" and "Phantom of the Opera" may well compete with modern ones like "Vampire Ball" and "The Last Test", you just need to choose a theme to the taste of the birthday boy.
The main thing to remember when choosing a present for a musician is that he is the same person as all people, which means that his name day should be treated with respect. The best gift will be the one that will emphasize his individuality both as a person and as an artist, the main thing is not to overdo it, giving an expensive, pompous, but useless present.
