A few musicians are born naturally gifted, but most learn to love playing and listening at a young age, encouraged by the adults around them.

The holidays are a perfect time to show that support with a thoughtful, musically themed gift.

Whether you’re buying for a 5-year-old who has never touched a piano or a 17-year-old with a garage band, here are the perfect gifts for every music-loving young one.

Designed for use indoors or out, at home or on the go, the speaker can withstand anything your kid throws at it. Plus with built in voice control through Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant, the smart speaker can probably outsmart your little one too.
