3. Whether youre a working musician,
have your own studio or just indulge
in the guitar every now and then, the
chances are youve had fun while
playing a musical instrument.
5. The enjoyment of playing music,
learning an instrument actually
has a whole host of other benefits
12. Regularly playing an instrument can actually change
the shape of your brain, exercising the areas that deal
with motor skills, hearing and memory. Music
education is also linked to higher IQ levels.
13. Drums, guitar, violin or flute, all musical
instruments require some form of hand-eye
coordination. While some instruments
require you coordinate just your fingers,
others require you to apply this to various
limbs and even the way you breathe. Your
increased coordination will help you with
everything from holding your breath to
catching a ball.
15. The last point, the act of learning
an instrument can also improve
maths skills. If you are learning to
read music, youll be required to
count notes and decipher rhythms;
this all helps boost your maths
skills.
17. One of the best things, in my opinion,
about leaning an instrument is having a
greater understanding about cultural
history. Its very easy to just listen to the
same types of bands that you really like,
but when you learn an instrument, youre
required to listen to genres from various
eras that you wouldnt naturally spend time
listening to. As you do this, youll start to
get enthralled in the background and
stories behind some of the different
varieties of styles out there, from Jazz to
folk to punk and beyond.
