What the Research Says

Your Brain Is Still Plastic

Even two short piano sessions produced measurable white-matter changes in adult brains. Neuroplasticity doesn't stop — music training reshapes motor and auditory networks at any age.

Tavor et al., 2020; Schlaug et al., Harvard, 2005

Proven Stress Reduction

A meta-analysis of 104 randomized trials found music interventions significantly reduce both psychological and physiological stress markers. Active playing is more effective than just listening.

de Witte et al., University of Amsterdam, 2020

Faster Social Bonding

Adults in music-making groups bond faster than those in other social activities. Music creates connection without requiring small talk — just shared experience.

Pearce, Launay & Dunbar, University of Oxford, 2015
