Musicians have better executive functioning? Nope As a musician with ADHD, I can tell you that's not true ADHD means executive functioning is my biggest weakness

I'm taking a piano class right now, and the professor inundates us with this sort of thing Which is good But diet and exercise might just be better for your brain than playing an instrument

Mental benefits are definitely there but I had an accident with my right hand several years ago and I have persistent pain in my right arm, shoulder and hand I started learning guitar and harp a year ago and whenever I play, my pain is at least 80 reduced and even days after playing, it stays at that level
Comment from : @XaaraSJilani

We are never too old to learn something new, right? I’ve decided this year I would learn how to play the piano I’ve never played an instrument in my life so I know this will be challenging yet rewarding Wish me luck ❤

I'm 62 and started playing the guitar 🎸 10 years ago , what a gift the older we get as your using a part of your brain 🧠 that involves muscle memory , practicing songs 🎵 over and over again you also get a sense of achievement Playing with friends a joy its never to late to learn anything ❤ thanks

Comment from : @timburns5967

These few days, I was thinking of getting a guitar and learning After watching this video and knowing how it really improves our brain, I feel more reassured to buy and learn
Comment from : @tenyang8685

I'm thankful to have music constantly enriching and uplifting my spirit Being able to portray my emotions through music is not only a great brain exercise but very therapeutic as well Always figuring out what my mind is hearing and storing hundreds of my music files in my brain to be pulled out anytime I can't imagine not creating music It is a mindset Constantly thinking Life just simply wouldn't be as fun or as interesting without not only learning others' music, but creating your own as well 28 years so far
Comment from : @marccooper76

thumbs up to the concept
Comment from : @JohnWright-p5e

Algebra's like sheet music, the important thing isn't can you read music, it's can you hear it Can you hear the music, Robert?
Comment from : @danieIturner

Good video! brbr I play Guitar 🎸 br I definitely have a lot of songs memorized In addition to memorizing the fret numbers and string letters of each song brbrIt is also is a good work out for my finger dexterity - and stretching technique br So, playing guitar is good for mental and physical health

I always feel like I’m cognitively slow compared to normal people, I thought this was because my brain is taken up by music leaving no room for other stuff
Comment from : @MissJennyGuitar

People who play an instrument have the ability to think outside the box hence opening your brain to new ideas pertaining to most everything

E io da musicista dichiaro che suonando, dato che è equiparabile ad attività fisica, quando suono produco endorfine che creano dipendenza Suono, ascolto e devo suonare un circolo virtuoso grande!

Comment from : @allenbrininstool7558

This is so important for older players!
Comment from : @BecomeABetterGuitarPlayer1

This made a lot of sense I wondered why I was exhausted after playing live music Definitely a “zone” we get into that takes a while to “come back” into a relaxed environment It’s that feeing that multiple brain centers are all firing simultaneously

The animators are next level 🔥
Comment from : @snehsagarsubedi6748

Playing an instrument and learning music are life long pursuits I have been playing saxophones and flutes since I was a teenager, after more than 55 years I find myself improving and learning better ways to apply the knowledge I collected from my teachers( who include my father, Joe Allard, Sam Rivers, Lee Konitz and Karl Berger) and from my life experiences I learned , from the inventor of the Lyricon Bill Bernardi, that when playing a woodwind instrument legato, there is an exceedingly short (10-15 milliseconds) period of silence when you disturb the sound wave by changing pitch This knowledge has enabled me to create new methods of articulation that are much more speech-like, swinging and natural than the standard tonguing methods like “ta-da, or ta-ka
