Is everyone else trying to figure out what to give their students for Christmas this year? Anyone come up with any great ideas yet? I usually like to give something creative that will last longer than the time it takes for a piece of candy to make the journey from their mouth to their stomach. 
Still trying to come up with the perfect idea for this year…
One of my students’ favorite gifts was this Music Manuscript book I made for them a couple of years ago. Many of them still use their books for theory assignments or composition projects. I’ve made the complete file for this book available in the Music Matters Blog store in case any other teachers are interested in giving these to their students as a special gift. Just click the button below to download the file, save it to your computer, and then use it as often as you like to print books for your students. You can even e-mail the whole file to a print shop and have them run however many copies you need and bind them. The book is set up with margin spacing to allow for double-sided printing. Enjoy!

I usually try to get a gift that tied in with our Christmas camp theme that year but it really depends on the theme. This year our theme is the 12 Composers of Christmas going along with our yearly theme of the Great Composers so I ordered classical CD’s for all my students that I found for $1.99.
Last year, they all recieved a personalized pencil set with their name on it and grand piano pencil sharpner.
I’ve done ornaments, piano cookie cutters filled with M&M’s, one year I made them a CD of pieces they recorded that year, etc…
Those are good ideas, Jennifer! Where did you get the personalized pencil set and grand piano pencil sharpener?
Nice gift idea Natalie! I’m thinking of make one for my niece, she start learing piano recently
where can you find piano cookie cutters?
