Whether it's piano, guitar, drums, saxophone... playing an instrument improves a huge range of mental and physical skills and it’s never too late to learn! Check out what becoming a musician can do for you..
Improves Your Memory
Studies have shown that musicians have more grey matter in various brain regions and is therefore synonymous with improving long and shot term memory capability.
Enhances Your Coordination
Playing guitar, drums, bass, any instrument is all about hand eye coordination, so it’s no wonder that those that can play are also much more likely to hit the bullseye in a round of darts!
Improves Maths, Reading and Comprehensive Skills
Adding up rhythms, figuring out note pitches, reading sheet music and knowing your theory then applying that to your instrument. This all allows (especially children) a more increased cognitive ability when it comes to maths and english.
All by having fun with music.. you can’t go wrong!
Encourages Self-Expression and Relieves Stress
Music’s beauty is in the eye of the beholder so you can play whatever you like! Find out what you like and what you don’t like and become confident in that and after a long stressful day what is better than sitting down and playing/listening to the music that you love!

To get better at guitar you have to play EVERY DAY, even if it’s just for 2 minutes because its all about muscle memory. This encourages you to work hard for what you want and really enjoy the moment when you can finally achieve it and can play that song you’ve always loved!
These are just a few of the of the benefits of learning a musical instrument, so why not become a better you and become the musician you’ve always dreamt of being.
