Guitar Lessons for Seniors
Here’s a fun fact – music is good for your brain! If you are a senior, looking for a way to keep your brain sharp, consider music lessons.
- Studies show that practicing music repeatedly changes the organization of the brain.
- Music can be used as an anti-aging therapy; seniors engaged in musical activity experience less feelings of isolation and more feelings of well-being.
- Listening to a new (or unfamiliar) piece of music engages the brain in analytical processes which are likely to be absent in the case of Alzheimer’s.
- Studies also show that music experience increases verbal memory.
- Music is associated with the brain’s pleasure center. Response to music can create a chemical reaction in the brain releasing dopamine and increasing feelings of pleasure and well-being.
- Music with a beat helps motor disorders such as Parkinson’s disease.
So don’t be afraid to try something new. Playing the guitar can be fun and good for your brain at the same time!
