With the start of December, the countdown also begins for the most awaited time of the year among the household’s youngest members. Christmas is almost here! 🎄 👑.

MUSICAL GIFTS TO PRACTICE

Ultimate Practice Kit

For practice to be effective and of high quality, it is necessary to have the right tools. These are some of the essentials that never miss in my daily study session: bow protector and instrument stand. stool, rosin, speaker, spike holder, music stand, microfiber cloth, tuner-metronome, bow protector, and musical stand.

Educational Resources

I talked some time ago about the different uses we can give to dice and how such a simple resource can be so crucial in taking learning to another level. This time we add rhythm dice, review dice, and dynamic dice. In addition to dice, we can use other resources, such as musical dominoes, review sheets, or stars for the Twinkle rhythms.

ARTISTIC MUSICAL GIFTS

Musical Posters

We know that the environment is key to musical learning, right? So, it seems like a brilliant idea to fill our home’s walls with color and music. Etsy is a website with artisan and artistic content where we can find musical posters as beautiful and musical as the ones I present here. What do you think? These prints also have an emotional component, as they have been designed by my sister. I hope you like them!

Musical complements

I simply love everything that María Amorós does. It is all made with care and a lot of art. I encourage you to go to her website and support her creations.

MUSICAL GIFTS TO LEARN

Musical books for all ages

Reading is one of the most important tools in our personal development. At early ages, it not only helps in developing language skills but also contributes to concentration and memorization abilities, as well as providing vital enrichment that is beyond dispute. Below, I will show you some wonderful books that will help the younger ones learn more about the history of music.

For the little ones, I recommend the collections of My First... (in spanish)

For the little ones that have already developed a taste for reading, I recommend the following (in spanish) El coleccionista de pipas, La orquesta, Amadeus Mozart, El lago de los cisnes.

And for the most skilled and expert readers (in spanish): Billie, El libro de la música clásica, Chelísimo, Erase una vez la música, Pequeña historia de la música, Historia de la música para niños

Finally, for the adult readers, some very interesting readings (also in spanish): Educados con amor, Las aventuras de un violonchelo, Lang Lang. Un viaje de miles de kilómetros: mi autobiografía.

Music sheets

The supplementary repertoire is back in action, why not encourage ourselves to play the soundtracks of our favorite movies with the cello?

I hope these ideas will help you in the search for the perfect musical gift. Do you miss anything? Is anything added to your list that I have missed? I read you in comments ☃️ 🎄
