What I found really interesting is the difference that actually PLAYING an instrument makes, above and beyond just LISTENING to music:

  • Better memory
  • Better problem-solving skills
  • Increased communication between brain hemispheres
  • Improved planning skills and attention to detail

These benefits seem to be unique to playing and learning music and are not associated with any other type of activity – for example, sports or even other artistic activities.

So, watch this video, then get back to the piano! 🙂
