The Life of a Band Nerd

Instrumental Benefits

  So, I was listening to the radio and a fact thing called John Tesh Intelligence For You Life came on. It was talking about ways to prevent Alzheimer's. So, the number one way to prevent this disease is *another drumroll*:

Learning an instrument. That's right folks. I mean, if you think about it, it makes since. When playing, you're processing the music in front of you, listening to the notes being played, keeping with the tempo, watching the director out of the corner of your eye, and doing a lot more–all at the same time. The way John Tesh put it, is that we're basically going through a whole bunch of brain games to keep the brain healthy. So, I guess that means that us band kids get to remember our experiences forever and ever!
