Many people aim to become more academically advanced and study for hours in hopes of increasing their IQ score. There is, however, research that shows there is another way to do this. The opposite type of activity can actually boost your IQ, however. Those who take the time to learn how to play a musical instrument show many different changes in the brain.
This is not limited to children, either. Even elderly participants showed significant improvement in brain function. Musicians have been proven to have more gray matter than other individuals, as well. Just one hour of practice with a musical instrument per week can result in changes.
The previous beliefs about your IQ being set in stone are not true. You have some control over changing how your brain works. The discovery is that the entire architecture of the brain changes when you expose yourself the learning of a musical instrument. Memory recall and information processing were some areas where substantial improvement was seen in the elderly subjects, ages 60-85 years old.
The playing of a musical instrument can help reduce stress, and conserve Gray Matter. Gray Matter helps with self-control, decision making, speech, memory, emotion. There are links from music playing to improved memory capacity, as well. Stress relief improves your physical health, also. A musical instrument is a great investment in your mental and physical health.
