L
earning a musical instrument is a fantastic and affordable hobby for seniors. Not only is strumming a guitar entertaining and fun, musical studies are also beneficial to our health, providing therapeutic value and increased brain function. If you have spare time on your hands during retirement then learning a musical instrument might just be the perfect hobby for you...
Keeping sharp Learning an instrument can assist you in keeping your mind active. A study conducted in an Illinois retirement home found that seniors saw up to a 70 per cent improvement in their memory after just 16 weeks of learning a new instrument. Few hobbies are able to provide the same cognitive exercise as the study of music. Physical benefits Not only is learning an instrument great for the brain, but also for the body, resulting in better coordination and improvement of eyesight and hearing.
