Gifts for beginners

First steps in music are the best when you've got the right instrument to hand. For beginners, we've picked instruments and sets that make starting out easy: from guitars and ukuleles through keyboards and drums to violins. Add a tutor book or sheet music, and the first songs will practically learn themselves.

Already know what they want to play? Check out classical guitars, keyboards, kids' drum kits or wind instruments for beginners. A tuner and a metronome also come in handy for those first practice sessions.
