As adults we approach learning a musical instrument from a different perspective. It may be something we’ve always dreamed of doing. Or perhaps it’s a way to keep inspiration flowing. Or maybe we just want to have a bit of fun. 

The benefits of actually making music – not just listening – are many and well documented. Listening to and actively participating in music can reduce heart rate, lower stress and blood pressure, decrease anxiety and provide for an emotional and exhilarating experience. Plus studies have shown that participating in music contributes to higher levels of personal fulfillment. Making music helps to keep your brain sharp!
