Retirement Gifts for Music Teachers

Get your music teacher an appropriate retirement gift.

The best retirement gifts for music teachers depend on their likes,
personalities, hobbies and interests. If you don't know where their
interests lie, remember that music teachers earn less than top wages and
will appreciate even practical gifts to ease their transition into
retirement. Show your thanks for all those years of dedication with
presents which make them feel appreciated and respected.

Keepsake Retirement Gifts


* Consider keepsakes as retirement gifts. These include personal
items in daily use or decor accents placed around the home,
particularly on top of a piano, which remind a music teacher of the
warmth of his former students and the satisfaction of his teaching
career. Retirement gifts made from materials such as silver, crystal
or wood in the form of vases, photograph frames or wall plaques are
constant reminders of grateful students, as are choices like fine
writing instruments, leather wallets and briefcases.





Delicious Retirement Gifts


* Handmade retirement gifts from grateful students are a
delicious way to thank your music teacher. If you know the teacher's
tastes in food, consider organizing a class project to fill a gift
hamper or basket with the individual baking specialties of each
student. This gift need not be homemade; a smaller version from one
or more student, containing a few gourmet treats, such as special
label preserves, cookies, specialty teas and coffees, will be
equally appreciated. Choose a theme for your basket to make it
particularly appropriate for your music teacher. Look for products
with a musical term in the title. A good gift basket for a music
teacher who loves chocolate includes a box of white, milk or dark
chocolates, some sachets of premium hot chocolate mix, and a cup
decorated with a musical motif.





Home Decor Retirement Gifts


* Home decor accessories make welcome and inexpensive retirement
gifts for music teachers. Consider if she plans to teach music from
home during her retirement. If she does, items like potpourri and
scented candles refresh the air in the teacher's study or lesson
location. Scented candles paired with two candle holders in a
variety of materials are elegant as well as practical retirement
gift. Potted plants or flowers brighten up the house, especially
during the colder months, and will add to your teacher's newly found
leisure time at her home.





Entertainment Retirement Gifts


* Retirement gifts for music teachers who collect recordings of
music are difficult to choose if you do not already know what they
posses. A gift certificate from a local or online music store solves
that issue by allowing your teacher to make his own choice.
Subscriptions for musical magazines or book clubs, tickets for a
local cinema, opera house or theater are all generous retirement
gifts which encourage a music teacher to enjoy his retirement days.
