Why Learning The Guitar Is Good For You


Learning a musical instrument is fun and it's good for you, it's official! There is scientific evidence that people who develop musical skills use parts of their brain that are neglected in non musicians. Playing and listening to music is exercise on the whole brain requiring abilities to recognise pitch, pattern processing, co -ordination and memory. For the full scientific reasoning behind this check out Philip Bells recent report into learning music and how it can improve your brain functioning HERE....


Even without considering the science evidence in support of music, and look at it from a lifestyle perspective, there a few things more satisfying than learning to play an instrument, playing your favourite songs or composing your own. Guitar is one of the most accessible instruments to learn. It's continuing to grow in popularity and with the wealth of tutorials, resources and popular bands using guitars in their music, there has never been a better time to learn guitar.
