Playing a musical instrument has many benefits. It helps to develop creative thinking and motor skills. Music stimulates the parts of the brain that are related to reading, math, and emotional development.

Playing a musical instrument:

  • ENHANCES ACADEMIC SKILLS
  • INCREASES I.Q. AND IMPROVES MEMORY

  • TEACHES DISCIPLINE

  • RELIEVE STRESS

  • MAKES OTHERS HAPPY

1. I like the classic, piano. Different brand names and types of piano gives a different tone. I like the ones that are clear/acoustic sounding ones.

2. I started playing the piano in Elementary School, and although did not finish, but had learned up until Level 10. Nowadays, I hardly play it anymore, but if I were to take out a piece of music that I had once repeated practiced, my hands just start to flow from memory. At times, I'd play it partially memorized, then, once I forget, I also tend to lose my place on the music sheet.

3. Don't know any unusual musical instrument..

4. Listening to Classical Music while studying, research has shown that it helps older adults perform better on memory and processing tasks as they listen to it. Classical Music stimulates your brain, which results in better performance. Learning a musical instrument can also improve your coordinations; your eyes as you read the music sheets, your hands to play the instrument, your feet (stepping on the pedal).. all your movements are connected, as your eyes read the music, it sends the message (don't know the technical term) to the part of your body that needs to move. Some instruments you can self-learn, while others may cost you, and takes time to learn it well~

Thank you for all the interesting information! I did not know that different brand names and types of piano have different tones. What is the reason you do not play so often anymore? I think playing the piano is amazing.
