Music on the other hand does something unique. It makes connections in the brain that enforce creativity. Without creativity we become dull. Since playing an instrument requires two hands and each hand is controlled by a different side of the brain, music does something else for human development. It establishes bridges in the brain’s synapses for both sides to come together and work in unison. Whatever instrument it may be, whether it be piano, guitar, violin, or the bag pipes, we become better thinkers and creators. Unlike sports, music can be shared and continued well into life’s later years when the ability to actively play sports is behind us.
