“There are few things that stimulate the brain the way music does. 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. Music is structural, mathematical and architectural. It’s based on relationships between one note and the next. The brain has to do a lot of computing to make sense of it. The power of music isn’t limited to research. Try these methods of bringing more music—and brain benefits—into your life.”
