LEARNING TO PLAY AN INSTRUMENT OFFERS IMPRESSIVE COGNITIVE BENEFITS. CAMILLA FOSTER LEARNS MORE
-
THINK playing an instrument is just a childhood pastime or a talent reserved for the naturally gifted? Think again. Picking up a musical instrument later in life is a powerful way to keep your brain healthy.
Dr Steven Allder, consultant neurologist at Re:Cognition Health, explains why learning to play music could be one of the smartest - and most enjoyable - investments in your brain health...
Sharpens memory
"When we learn music, the brain engages in complex processes such as reading notes, coordinating movement and recalling melodies. This strengthens neural networks linked to memory and attention," explains Dr Allder.
"Much like exercise, repeated practice reinforces these pathways, improving working memory and long-term recall.
"Studies show musicians often have better verbal memory and cognitive flexibility, suggesting that sustained musical activity actually helps the brain remain more resilient to age-related decline."
