How Playing Music Affects Your Brain

However, when you play a musical instrument, it is a bit like giving the brain a full body workout, during which it has to focus on the harmony, the emotion and the motoric movements to produce the sound simultaneously. Music also helps both sides of your brain to work together better and improves your executive function. But watch the video - it is fascinating stuff.
