We always admire the talent of skilled musicians. Whether they are pianists or guitarists, these persons have made great efforts to give a perfect performance. 1 So what are the benefits (好处) for both children and adults in learning a musical instrument?

2 According to a study by Dr. Nina Kraus, Professor of Neurobiology at Northwestern University in Illinois, the US, children who played musical instruments were better at telling different frequencies (频率). 3 Also, a study carried out by the University of British Columbia found that students who took part in music-related activities during grades 7 ~ 12 scored surprisingly higher in science, English and math. 4 Whether you choose to play the piano, pick up a guitar or learn a drumbeat, you could end up joining a band as an adult. This in turn could improve your social life, meeting other classmates who have the same interests as you. 5 Finding the perfect chord (和弦) is one way, but what if you got together with some friends and entered into a fighting of the bands — and won?
So, whether you expect to destress by playing out some chords, or improve your grades at school, maybe taking up an instrument could help you.
A. And they say it's never too late to learn.
B. But there are not just benefits to children.
C. Adults get more benefits than children from musical instruments.

F. Learning to play a musical instrument while growing up can improve hearing in adulthood.
