Learning to play more complex musical instruments may help kids’ brains by giving them additional benefits in key behavioural areas of the cortex - according to a recent study from the University of Vermont College of Medicine. Some of the leading researchers believe that the cortex develops and it’s thickening and thinning during the premature stages of a person’s lifetime, i.e. when they are a child.

Listening to music alters the motor areas of the brain because the activity requires control and coordination of the movement and also plays a vital role in increasing the child’s IQ level. Music is therapeutic and can result in lowered depression and anxiety occurrence in the future. Not only does it help control your own mind but additionally helps reduce aggression, that may result in dangerous or self-detrimental behaviour.

The idea that something as simple as listening to music can help so much in shaping a child’s future is astonishing. This simple activity adds up multiple advantages in building a child up. Research made every year are adding up advantages to the list every year and these include:-

1. Listening to music improves your social life: -
