Benefits of Playing a Musical Instrument

I never bought into past documentaries or data stating that playing a musical instrument is tied to being "smarter" or "better" at something. However, that doesn't mean I haven't been curious about how various people portray the connection between music and the human brain. When I found this video on a friend's Facebook post, I was finally intrigued. In my opinion, it is a more accurate version of how playing a musical instrument affects mental functions.

Multitasking, organization, attention to detail, and planning skills are developed through music training and performance; those skills, thus, become enhanced in other aspects of life.
