The enjoyment of playing music, learning an
instrument actually has a whole host of other
benefits

Our musical instrument category continues to grow
each quarter.

Some reasons why everyone should learn to play an
instrument
8

• Learning an instrument can help you build
  confidence, whether youre a fully-grown adult or
  a shy child.

9

• Once you take up an instrument, its natural to
  seek out others that are also interested in music
  or learning the same instrument.

• Most musicians will at some point want to play
  with other musicians, further increasing their
  social circles.

10

• There have been studies that show playing an
  instrument helps lower heart rate and blood
  pressure, helping you feel more relaxed. The act
  of concentrating can help distract you from a
  stressful situation thats on your mind.

11

• It is incredibly rare for someone to sit down at
  an instrument for the very first time and be good
  at it. For many instruments, the first few steps
  can be the hardest, and getting to a level where
  you really feel like you can play takes patience,
  and patience is a great quality for anyone to
  have.

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.

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.

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.
