MUSICAL INSTRUMENTS | Why to play musical instruments?

Why To Play Musical Instruments?
a guide and list of benefits why to play instruments

 Many benefits that will motivate you to keep on practicing and always hold music in high esteem.  Whenever you come across challenges as a musician, think about the end results and always remind yourself of all the great reasons you love to play.  I’ll leave you with an inspiring quote by jazz saxophonist and composer Charlie Parker who once said, “Music is your own experience, your thoughts, your wisdom.  If you don’t live it, it won’t come out of your horn.”


Refines your time management.
Learning how to play music helps you become organized in anything specially in time management. You become able to when to do things in perfect timing.

Boosts your team skills.
Playing music doesn't mean solo, but of coarse you can play musics with you friends. Go and create your band. In band and orchestra settings you must learn how to cooperate with the people around you. You will able to listen and manage your team and create a beautiful music together.

Teaches you perseverance.
"PATIENCE IS A VIRTUE." Learning to play an instrument takes time and effort, which really teaches you patience and perseverance.  Most people can’t play every piece of music perfectly the first time.  In fact, the majority of musicians have to work difficult sections of music multiple times in a row before they can play it correctly.

Enhances your coordination.
The art of playing an instrument  requires a lot of hand-eye coordination.  By reading musical notes on a page, your brain subconsciously must convert that note into specific motor patterns while also adding breathing and rhythm to the mix.

Sharpens your concentration.
Playing music by yourself requires you to concentrate on things like pitch, rhythm, tempo, note duration, and quality of sound.  Playing music in a group involves even more concentration because you must learn to not only hear yourself, but you must listen to all the other sections and play in harmony with the rest of the group.

Fosters your self-expression and relieves stress.

You have the freedom to play music, of coarse, it's your instrument. you can play whatever you want.  The more advanced you become on an instrument, the greater you’ll be able to play what you want and how you want. At any pattern of keys and string you are able to play your inventions.  This has proven to relieve stress and can be a great form of therapy.  In fact, music therapy has been useful in treating children and teens with autism, depression, and other disorders.

Boosts your listening skills.
Playing an instrument requires you to listen very carefully to things.  You have to learn how to hear when you’re playing a wrong note in order to correct yourself.  Tuning your instrument means hearing if the pitch you’re playing is high (sharp) or low (flat).
