Music for brain power!
Benefits of making music
...with side effects of silliness!
How music helps young minds
Music can quite literally change a child's life, forever. And these benefits are exactly what it is all about. From wellbeing, to life skills, to cognitive functioning, to physical health, the ripple effects are so far reaching and completely incredible. The positive impact that properly good music lessons can make is immeasurable.
It gives you abs
OK so maybe it won't give you abs but learning a musical instrument does have as much impact on some aspects of well-being as physical activity. Playing the piano can exercise the heart as much as a brisk walk.
It develops life skills
Music playing helps with the development of life skills, including teamwork, social skills and self-discipline. It also helps you to focus and can lead to a sharper mind in old age.
It makes you clever-er
Learning an instrument has been proven to increase IQ and can actually be considered a 'superskill'.
It makes you feel good
Playing an instrument for just a few minutes a day can help to improve self-esteem, make you feel more positive and boost your mental health.
