Five Star Gift Ideas

For your son who enjoys joining a choir or a cappella group, there are several meaningful and personal gift ideas you could consider. These gifts will not only enhance his musical journey but also show your support and encouragement for his passion.

1. Choir or A Cappella Sheet Music: Consider giving him a selection of sheet music for choir or a cappella arrangements. Look for well-known songs that he enjoys or explore new pieces that could challenge and inspire him. This gift allows him to expand his repertoire and find new vocal techniques.

2. Vocal Lessons or Workshops: Help your son enhance his vocal skills by gifting him vocal lessons or workshops with a professional music teacher. Whether he wants to work on breath control, pitch accuracy, or explore different vocal styles, these lessons will provide him with valuable guidance and feedback.

3. Choir or A Cappella Workshop or Retreat: Look for local or regional workshops or retreats where your son can meet and collaborate with other singers who share his passion. These events often provide opportunities for learning, performing, and connecting with like-minded individuals, which can be an incredibly enriching experience for him.

4. Audition Preparation Materials: If your son has aspirations of joining prestigious choirs or a cappella groups, consider gifting him resources to help him excel in auditions. This could include books focused on vocal techniques, audition strategies, or mental preparation for performances. You could also provide access to online platforms or courses that offer guidance on auditioning and improving vocal skills.

5. Professional Vocal Equipment: Upgrading his vocal equipment can greatly enhance his singing experience. Consider gifting him a high-quality microphone, microphone stand, or headphones. Additionally, a portable voice recorder or a smartphone app for vocal recording can help him practice, analyze his performance, and make improvements.

6. Concert Tickets: Surprise your son with tickets to a live performance by a renowned choir or a cappella group. Seeing professionals perform can be a great source of inspiration for him and may even provide an opportunity for him to network with fellow singers or professionals in the field.

7. Vocal Health and Care Package: Singing takes a toll on the voice, so consider putting together a vocal health and care package. Include essentials such as throat lozenges, herbal teas for soothing the voice, steam inhalers, and a good quality water bottle. You can also include a book on vocal hygiene and warm-up exercises to help him take care of his voice.

Remember, the most important aspect of the gift is to show your son that you support his passion for singing and take an interest in his musical journey. By choosing a thoughtful and personal gift related to his interest in joining a choir or a cappella group, you are not only giving him something he enjoys but also conveying your love and support for his aspirations.

Or you can get him a star map with an important date you share.

Madeline Moran Weiler says about Under Lucky Stars star maps:

“The map was absolutely beautiful! My grandson was thrilled with it (it was a Christmas gift) and has already asked me if I would consider getting another one for him as a graduation gift in a couple of years.”
