Many people mistakenly believe that there’s an upper age limit for learning to sing or play an instrument. It’s never too late to start, and many reasons to do it, from the cognitive and physical benefits, to just the sheer joy of it.
Studies show that music, singing in particular, improves heart and lung function, decreases cortisol levels, stimulates the immune response, improves speech, and even increases your pain threshold.
Learning music later in life has been shown in a variety of studies to improve cognitive function, help with memory processing and recall, and even help stave off dementia. It’s one of the best things you can do for your brain.
Even putting aside the proven health benefits of music, it just makes people feel good. Singing gives everyone from the youngest to the oldest, a brighter outlook on life. It builds community, reduces stress, and, frankly, makes us happier.
Taking voice lessons as an older adult improves posture, helps with sleep, improves heart and lung function, and can even be a good workout. Plus it’s just fun.
It’s well known that piano lessons are great for cognitive development in kids. Turns out, it’s just as beneficial later in life. Learning to play piano as a senior builds neural connections, enhancing memory.
Learning to play an instrument later in life is beneficial no matter what, but the guitar in particular improves hand-eye coordination, strengthens your arms, wrists, and hands, and relieves stress.
Learning to play ukulele is a joy at any age. It requires less strength than guitar and is easier to learn, but it still lifts the spirits of everyone listening.
