Learning a musical instrument not only sustains and feeds the brain, but it also improves so many other cognitive and physical aspects of the human body.
Improves Memory
It not only improves your cognitive memory but also your muscle memory as well. Learning to play a musical instrument requires you to use both the right and left parts of your brain, therefore working your brain harder and improving your memory.
Builds Your Confidence and Gives You a Sense of Achievement
Like with any new task, once you start to become comfortable and familiar with what you’re doing, you build confidence in completing that task. This applies to musical instruments as well.
The further you progress in your musical training, the more knowledge and understanding you have of your musical instrument, the more you naturally become confident in your skills.
It’s Fun!
The art of music is so deep and profound that it has to be approached with a bit of intensity laced with great affectionate joy. Even though there is an extensive amount of scientific reasoning stating why music training is so beneficial, you should learn a musical instrument simply because it is so incredibly fun to do so.
Helps Relieve Stress
Music can help with keeping you calm, it’s even been proven to lower heart rate and blood pressure, which in turn lowers the stress hormone cortisol, therefore making us feel relaxed.
Whilst just listening to music helps, research has shown that learning to play an instrument brings with it comfort and daily repetition which helps keep the stress away.
Makes You Smarter
Music training is far superior to computer instruction in dramatically enhancing children’s abstract reasoning skills, the skills necessary for learning math and science.
It goes without saying that some of the smartest people alive have been heavily indulged in music training and Even Einstein stated, “Life without playing music is inconceivable to me”
