How Playing an Instrument Can Be Therapeutic

Listening to music has well-known therapeutic effects, exceeded only by playing an instrument – here is how actively playing music can be good for your body and your soul:

  • -Physical exercise – playing any instrument requires the player to take the correct posture and to coordinate their body movements as well. Whether you play the drums, the piano, the guitar, the violin, the flute or any other instrument, you will work your muscles in an unnoticeable way, training your body while you practice;
  • -Stress relief – playing music is an excellent way to relieve stress at beginner levels as well as at more advanced levels;
  • -Concentration – one of the most important mental benefits of playing a musical instrument is the improved ability to focus on an activity for a specific amount of time;
  • -Help with depression and insomnia – music is a form of self-expression that not only relieves stress, but also calms down racing thoughts and ensures better, calmer, more relaxing sleep and enables a more positive outlook on life;
  • -A sense of achievement – being able to play the tunes that you want after having put in all the hard work will make you happy, content with life and will give you a great sense of success.
