T-shirt

• Choose from many different types, colors and styles of T-shirts to buy someone a present she can wear. If she is a piano player, buy her a shirt depicting a piano. There are T-shirts available that have a wide variety of musical instruments and inspirational sayings on them. Another option is to get a T-shirt that has a picture of the student's musical idol on it.
  
  

Jewelry

• A piece of jewelry for the music student would make a personal gift. Choose from a selection of pendants and charms that come in the shape of musical instruments. If the student is a singer, find a microphone pendant or charm. There are rings that come in the shape of a guitar, earrings that look like pianos, saxophone cuff links and charms that look like drums. No matter what instrument the student plays, you will likely be able to find a piece of jewelry to suit his talent and tastes.
  
  

Music Books

• Giving a student a music book is an appropriate gift option, especially if the book is of the student's favorite musical artist or genre. Buy a biography for a student interested in the life story of a musician, or a songbook for a student to learn the songs of her favorite band. Many aspiring musicians hope to emulate their idol's musical success; a music book would be a good way to encourage that.
  
  

Artwork

• There are some beautiful paintings and prints available that are related to the theme of music. Many stores and online companies offer a wide selection which includes framed photographs of musicians and instruments, prints of famous musical artists and original paintings that have a musical theme. A music student would appreciate a piece of inspirational artwork to hang in her bedroom or practice area.
