I invite you to watch this quick (under 5 minute) animated lesson on how playing an instrument is an activity similar to a full-body brain workout.  It’s really interesting when you realize how many parts of the brain are at work at the exact same time when you are playing.  It also it done it such a way that  you can share it with your children and they can learn a bit more about how our brains and music all work together too.
