Our team has compiled a list of the best gifts for piano players. Whether you’re shopping for someone who is new to this instrument or has been playing for years, here’s a list of wonderful gifts that a pianist will be sure to appreciate!
1. Soundbrenner Pulse
Practicing to a metronome is fundamental to understanding and developing one’s inner rhythm – especially if you’re playing a classical instrument like a piano! Unfortunately, most audible metronomes can be frustrating to listen to. With the Soundbrenner Pulse, piano players can practice by feeling the beat through vibrations instead!
Soundbrenner Pulse, the world’s first wearable vibrating metronome will definitely surprise the pianist in your life.
2. Akai Professional MPK Mini MKII
If you’ve been looking for a MIDI keyboard controller, this one’s for you. You’ll be getting so much for your money’s worth with MPK Mini’s synth packages and pads that are perfect for live sets. It’s compatible with Windows and macOS, and all the DAWs you can think of.
3. Behringer Ultratone K900FX
This versatile amp can be used for both keyboards and acoustic guitar and has a channel with XLT input. Each channel has an effect level control. The onboard 24-bit digital FX processor has 100 unique presets, which adds a high-tech dash of reverb, chorus, flange, delay, pitch shift, and other effects to your sound. The ULTRASONE K900FX specializes in clean, powerful sound.
4. Stelle & Hegen Metal Music Book Clip and Page Holder
Finding a gift for another musician doesn’t always have to be complicated. It can be as simple as a music book clip and page holder. Made out of high-grade stainless steel, the Stelle & Hegen’s Music Book Clip won’t break or rust and gives a strong and reliable hold.

6. JBL 305P MkII 5 Inch Powered Studio Monitor
It can get tiring to blow out your ears with headphones when producing music. One of our personal favorite for best gifts for pianists is a studio monitor. Finding a good studio monitor is vital so that you can hear crystal clear what is in your mix. What sets apart a good studio monitor is its bass response – your floor should be able to rattle when the tune has a right kick drum and bass. JBL is always a favorite choice for its quality.
7. Behringer Xeny 802
If you are looking for a studio mixing console for your band leader or a friend to set up their home studio, Behringer Xeny packs a punch weighing at only 1 kg.

8. Beyond Talent: Creating a Successful Career in Music
Getting into the creative music industry takes more than just talent. This book provides practical advice about launching a career in the music industry.
9. The Library of Piano Classics
Imagine all the classic pieces that your pianist loved one will ever want to learn. We believe that a good piano book should be on every list for the best gifts for pianists. This one in particular presents a good range of tempos and styles. There are enough easy pieces to have fun with and enough tough ones to present a challenge.
Over 100 works, including Schubert’s “Moment Musical,” Chopin’s “Minute Waltz,” Beethoven’s “Rondo a Capriccio,” and much more.
10. The Library of Disney Songs
You can never go wrong with this Christmas present!
For the older and more experienced players, we highly recommend this book! Arrangements are perfect and close to the sound of the originals.
Although these Disney Classic songs may present themselves as a challenge when sight-reading, it is highly rewarding when you can play through a piece. Play it in the living room with family and friends!
