Everyone likes music. Studying a musical instrument in childhood can make a child good at playing the instrument in which music can maintain brain function.
Music lessons that have been received since childhood will help the child maintain the sharpness of the brain in old age. Scientists found that retirees who had studied piano, flute, clarinet or other instruments have better intelligence tests than those who never learn.
From the musical activities of one’s life can be a cognitive exercise that makes your brain healthier and better able to accommodate the challenges of old age, said Dr. Brenda Hanna-Pladdy from the University of Kansas Medical Center was quoted as saying by the Telegraph. By studying a musical instrument should be followed by practice over the years, activities that could create an alternative connection that could compensate for the decline in cognitive level as we get older, he added.
The study published by the American Association Psycological studied 70 participants aged 60 to 83 years with good health condition. They were then divided into several groups based on their musical experiences. And those who have the experience of music do better on cognitive tests than those who have never studied an instrument or read music.
