Brains are running at full speed
When you play the piano, your brain works at full speed. You read the notes, you have to understand what it says and convert those notes into sounds. When playing the notes you use all ten of your fingers, which must move independently of each other. Your ears check whether the notes you have read match the sounds you make. And this is all happening at the same time. Can you imagine how hard your brain has to work for that?
Playing music improves your intelligence
It has been scientifically proven that learning something new, including learning to play the piano, has a positive effect on your brain. In addition, children who play an instrument have a more strongly connected left and right brain than children who do not. Those neuronal connections determine the level of intelligence! Playing the piano therefore improves your IQ level. Wouldn't you wish that for every child?
