Musical training in children protects people from developing dementia and other brain problems in the future. Here are the reasons why you should give a musical instrument to your child.

#1 Increases IQ Level

The brain activity increases after musical training. This means only a few weeks of music lessons can increase one’s IQ and improve memory, helping children in their studies.

#2 Improves Reading Skills

Reading musical notes create new neural connections in the brain. This improves a child’s ability to process information, making it easier for them to absorb information from reading and other sources.

#3 Refines Brain Function

Musicians seldom have memory issues as playing an instrument is a real brain workout. It can also reduce the risk and slow down the progression of dementia and Alzheimer’s disease.

#4 Strengthens Immune System

High stress levels can weaken the body’s immune system. Playing a musical instrument can lower stress levels and strengthen the body’s first line of defense.

#5 Strengthens The Respiratory System

Singing and playing a wind instrument requires deep breathing from the diaphragm. This strengthens the lungs and respiratory system.

#6 Enhances Coordination

When playing a musical instrument, the brain translates the notes into hand movements. The coordination of reading music and the process of its reproduction improves the brain’s reaction and cognitive function.
