Kid's brains are more elastic and develop new neural pathways faster than adults.
There's a physiological difference between kids that studied music more than kids that did not.
On the left side of your head, to the rear, just about an inch above and behind your ear, point there.
That area will be larger the more music you study as a child. It's best to learn an instrument while young.
Well I figured recorder was a good start this summer I’m going to see if I can get the oldest to pick a real instrument and get her lessons. I think it’d do her some good. I really am constantly amazed at what they can do.
Meant to ask this last comment, are you able to play again? I want to say last time we spoke you weren’t even able to play.
?
I've always been able to play - it just wasn't always easy and was pretty painful. I had guitars (2) in the hospital.
It has just hurt. It's no longer any additional pain. I'm quite a bit more mobile than I was. For a while, my only choice was flat on my back. I'm way beyond that stage.
I'm leaving my laptop for the night, probably. I already took my sleeping pills. G'night.
Glad to hear it,
Good night.
