Benefits ofg Music Making

(from  National Association of Musical Merchants/NAMM)

Who knew music was more than fun…it’s healthy!

Making music is beneficial to people of all ages. It positively affects children in their development of cognitive skills; teens by building confidence and connecting them socially; adults through reducing stress; and seniors by “exercising” the brain.

Strumming the guitar or playing the piano is not only cool; it also:

* builds confidence

* creates social connections / bonds

* inspires creativity

* increases productivity

Plus, everyone knows music is fun and provides entertainment and enjoyment, but not all know that music making has been scientifically proven to:

* exercise the brain

* fight memory loss

* reduce stress

* lower blood pressure

* stave off depression

* enhance cognitive development in children

It's never too late to pick up an instrument and learn how music making can be an integral part of maintaining a healthy mind and body. And, don’t forget, making music inspires a passion that can last a lifetime!
