We love music. I know, who doesn’t? We can all think of memories associated with certain songs, or moments when music just makes things better. But music is also incredibly important for healthy brain development.

“There are few things that stimulate the brain the way music does,” says one Johns Hopkins otolaryngologist. “If you want to keep your brain engaged throughout the aging process, listening to or playing music is a great tool. It provides a total brain workout.”

There are classes of every kind to be found, and private lessons are amazing, but there are also some fantastically free resources available.
