Playing the piano benefits your brain in a multitude of ways, according to a new study\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A new study has found that playing the piano improves the brain\u2019s ability to process sights and sounds, and can boost your mood.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Researchers at the University of Bath placed 31 adults in a randomised control study, and separated them into three groups: music training, music listening, and a control group.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Beginner pianists with no prior musical training undertook weekly, one-hour piano lessons over a period of 11 weeks. The second group listened to music for an hour, while the third used the time to read and study quietly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After just a few weeks, the beginner pianists reported significant improvements in recognising audio-visual changes in the environment and reported less depression, stress and anxiety.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One of the authors, Dr Karin Petrini said: \u201cWe know that playing and listening to music often brings joy to our lives, but with this study we were interested in learning more about the direct effects a short period of music learning can have on our cognitive abilities.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
