According to information released in a study by the American Psychological Association, playing any instrument from a guitar to a saxophone as a child keeps the mind sharper as a person ages. Because studying an instrument requires years of practice and learning, it apparently creates connections within the brain to help compensate for declining cognitive abilities as individuals age. Experts go on to say there are a number of added benefits to learning an instrument in later years, too. According to Suzanne Hanser of Berklee College of Music in Boston, making music has been linked to lowered blood pressure, decreased heart rates, reduced stressed and lessened anxiety and depression. Additionally, evidence shows it enhances the immunological response enabling musicians to fight viruses.
