This Christmas, take a moment to get a gift for the friendly music major in your life.

1. A ban on the question "What are you going to do with your degree?"

I'm still figuring it out, okay?

2. Any article of black clothing

Because they always need more concert clothes

3. Reeds/Sticks/Anything they need for their methods class

Those costs pile up quickly

4. Some peace and quiet

Finals and juries are a rough time for the music major in your life.

5. A functioning music stand

This comic is 100% accurate of all the stands in music school.

6. A private music theory tutor

Sometimes (always) they just have no clue what is going on in theory.

7. Noise canceling headphones to block out the crying of other music majors

The music building can be a place filled with lots of crying this time of year.

8. An endless supply of coffee to soothe an unprepared lesson

"I'm sorry I didn't practice, here's some coffee to make up for it"

9. Gear for any music organization they are involved in

Music fraternities, marching band, acapella groups, etc....

10. Endless supply of tea for their constantly aching voices

Walk into the music building and at least five people will be fighting a cold of some type at any given time.
