A musical instrument does not discriminate, it cares not for the color of the hand that plays it but only for the content of the artist's heart and musical soul.

We are saddened by the passing of @chickcorea who inspired so many with his music and creative genius. In an interview for #BelieveinMusic he said "When you find something you love to do..you feel good.For me to play for audiences, record, write music..this is what I love to do."

Students who learned to play an instrument in elementary and continued playing in high school not only score significantly higher but were about one academic year ahead of their non-music peers with regard to their English, mathematics and science skills.

What changes when you play music, rather than simply listen? See how the brain responded to musical cues—and how the body does, too. Hear from researchers who've studied how learning to play music can help kids become better problem-solvers.

Although people will tell you “it’s too late” to learn piano, or that “you missed your window”, this is simply not true. The science doesn’t support it. And even if you’re young, the brain benefits still apply to you, so why not start now?
