This is your brain on music

There really was a good reason to take those piano lessons as a child.  Seriously, though, I find that, when I’m involved in an intense project, or have been focusing too much on something, a 10-15 minute break on an instrument really helps loosen the thought processes.   Now we know why.

FYI – it’s never too late to pick up an instrument. I started piano at 7, guitar at 40, and violin about 5 years ago.
