Did I miss the musical boat?
Did you take music lessons when you were a kid and feel shame around quitting? Or, do you regret never starting an instrument at all? If so, your experience is incredibly common -- it's the most frequent story we hear when meeting new people.
Fortunately, new research shows there might be even more benefits and positive outcomes to learn music as an adult than as a youngster!
If you want to know more, check out I Heard There Was a Secret Chord: Music as Medicine* by Daniel Levitin's (our studio's recent book club pick!). Here are a couple fantastic takeaways...
Benefits of Learning Music as an Adult
Rewire your brain in just 12 weeks of lessons
Increase gray matter after only 6 months of playing
Create “social meaning” as we connect with others
And perhaps best of all…
When we choose to play music as an adult, "[...] we are doing it out of love, rather than obligation;
we are doing it for ourselves." 💖
