- Musical instrument? Your brain? Einstein??
Yep. We will go exactly over that in today's video.
Everyone loves music, it is one of the earliest form of arts and its one of the things that evolved alongside us for centuries. We know the effects of music on our mood and emotions but we had no idea how playing an instrument affected the brain.
Recently with the help of the advancement of technology we've been able to dive deeper into the brain and see what happens inside the brain when someone is playing a musical instrument. Can playing an instrument make you a genius? Uhm.. well the video is here to give you the details. Enjoy!

Don't you guys hate it when you're playing your heart out and someone interrupts you and starts to talk to you as if you weren't busy? :'0
Flightless Bird agree. Like i’m focused on playing and practicing an instrument then my mom suddenly interrupt
Not really.
@@kaylagaye3736 I feel you bro! At least I had this conversation with my parents to not interrupt me when i'm practicing and they respect that now! 🙏
It makes me think they're too dumb to comprehend what they're hearing
Ofcourse
I’ve been playing the piano for nearly more than 14 years.
I cannot explain how much I have benefitted from this. I started when I was 12 years old. Playing the piano has helped me get through tough times. My little dog Duke and the piano helped me manage at times when I was deppressed. You can’t put into words the sense of achieve one can get by learning to simply play a song. It’s a very nice thing. No need of becoming a great composer or a master pianist. But learn to play songs that you like . It feels so good and very relaxing. It’s also a good way to spend your time rather than idling carried away by the stupid advertising in this world.
For children I recommend teaching them from their early childhood, don’t expect them to play pieces or songs at that age. Just being able to play a small melody helps improve their brain functioning which will have lifelong positive effects.
I’ve been playing piano for 3 years and I’m still dumb as hell
Can confirm, after 10 years of regularly playin guitar and piano I am still dumb LUL
After 10 years of playing Piano, for sure I'm not dumb.
If you are already dumb, it will make u a little bit smarter. But it can't change genetics lmao
Playing keyboard since 3 years now. I know now more precisely why I'm dumb. It's also important to know why you're dumb. The more I learn the more I have to learn. Downward spiral predestined.

yes.. :(
So I just drink a lot and everythin' fine m8
@@MerlinErdogmus why are you dumb?
I’ve played guitar for 20 years and I can’t say enough about the benefits. Life changing!
That's awesome. 20 years of guitar playing is quite impressive!
Classical guitar?
I play my flute everyday but I forget what I'm doing 90% of the time 😂
well that does technically mean you're really good at improv soo...
I lost motivation playing my flute :
How often do you learn a song by looking at sheet music? Also, flute just might night be much of a challenge for your brain anymore. Maybe try learning piano or guitar and see how much of an impact that has on your memory.
This means, you became a genius. Geniuses forget everything.
I'm guitarist and I'm kinda retarded, ngl
I've just started playing the piano and i think it has greatly benefitted my memory and reading skills.
Definitely, I've started playing piano aswell 8 months ago and I really noticed forgetting less things than usual, I used to be kind of a forgetful guy but I felt great improvements in a year just playing.
Good to listen that.
@@Carpatouille how have you been learning to play
@@Phantasies I just watched youtube tutorials and tried my best to replicate what was done in them
How long after you started playing the piano did you notice a difference?
I have a bit of a problem with motivating myself while learning an instrument. Sometimes I get really unmotivated/or lazy even though deep down I really want to learn it :(
same
this happens to me as well
I play guitar for 10 years.. this will never leave just start playing
Sometimes you will hate the instrument and never wanna touch it but if you stick with it will be rewarding. Been playing guitar for about 3 years seriously and there's times I hate the thing but I am grateful for sticking with it.
Same
Before I started playing music, I wasn't very smart and didn't think criticality of the world, my problem solving skills sucked, I wasn't able to express myself, I never smiled, etc
After playing music I now can smile, express myself, and everyone comes to me for help at work now and tells me how smart I am.
It completely changed my life.
I’ve played guitar for what will be almost 6 years in January, and I’ve definitely contemplated learning more instruments, which makes me wonder if learning multiple instruments will strengthen your brain even more because of the way you play certain instruments, and being able to use different parts of your body to play different instruments.
I began playing 🎸 at 38 I’m 40 YO now and I plan to continue playing in order to avoid cognitive decline plus I’m getting better and I enjoy it so much. It’s never too late to learn.
Great info..I play the guitar and I didn't know this.. Thank you..keep sharing 👍😀
I promptly subbed. great work!
Playing violin for 15 years and piano for 13
NOICE.
I have been playing music for most my life. Majored in music in college, and have ran a band for over 10 years... I forget to grab something at the grocery store everytime I'm there... Don't think that's as accurate as you want to think
I think that’s just called being human and forgetting things from time to time.
I have no idea about becoming smart, but it certainly helps me with anxiety.
You make me feel better now thank you so much!!❤💙💛🔥
Awesome 👏
How to active 100% of the brain : play an instruments
Wow nice to know
I can relate myself to this here!!! 100% True
Very nice video, and is cool to see lefty guitar players like me.
If musicians have good memory,
Then lingling must have used 100% of his brain and remembered everything since coming into existence
LING LING 40 HOURS!!!
loved_it 2
I play piano for more than 10 years, I have an IQ score above average... and I can say with confidence that I don't have good memory and I take a lot of time learning something new :)
The one thing that I notice is playing an instrument makes you take better decisions with another people, your motor skill is way higher than other people and u become more practical in your daily routine!
I play clarinet, chello, and flute
And you are thick as hell because because you can't spell Cello
congratulations, you just played yourself.
Isn't his script similar to Ted Ed's on the same topic?
Very similar...

I decided to pick my violin up again
Sir,
Which software you are using for animation
I don´t think it makes you a genius. It may help you with focusing on a task. But a genius - for me - is someone who very easily understands a lot of different topics, no matter how far apart they may seem (like microbiology, economics, statistics, thermodynamics etc.) and I don´t think playing an instrument can help with that. But playing an instrument may help you with clearing your mind from unnecessary stuff and "being in the moment", which is a important state to be in if you want to learn something knew too
If a human dwell in music so much, there will be development i think in the brain.
As a song writer myself, activites on the brain are much more complex in daily routine. Rather than doing repetitive routine stuff I'd rather dwell in colors of sound and hyperbolic lyrics, but to arrange daily must have develop something to the brain.
The same goes for mathematicians or people who like solves math problem daily, or observant of social problem who observes ,analyze, and tries to bring solution to that matter on routine.
I could swear this is the same video of the FEDX Musician brain
I've played guitar since I was like 9. I can play almost any instrument if I apply myself. I compose too and can learn most songs by ear. Easier if I really like the tune. When I compose I'm tuning into some special place. I can't explain how but it's a lot like channeling. You just tune in to the universal station/vibration.
I have been playing the guitar dor 10 years now and I can't say I am smarter but I do enjoy playing it definitely makes me feel happy when I Play something exciting.
it can make you smarter.
great video, always on point
keep up the good work!!
This video and the TED ed one is so similar
It definately helps stimulate your brain
I'm 24 years Old I study and play about 7 different instruments. 4 of them are currently in my posession. I play guitar, Bass, a little bit of Tenor Saxophone even though I'm still learning, Trumpet, Harmonica, and Double Bass. I can honestly say from experience playing an instrument is only helpful with identifying chords and how they relate to music the rest is 90% of either ear or visual training. 5% is probably the exercises that come with it getting your body use to playing the instrument. I've been playing instruments since I was 5 I had ok grades from kindergarten to high school I dropped out of high school in 2014 with a 2.8 GPA as a junior. I didn't get my real GED until I was 23 last year but math was always a kick in the butt until I sat down and learned it. However being a musician requires for you to think but it doesn't mean your smart enough to improve college grades without learning how college works or even high school.
Which app you use for creating such a grt vedio
I play with my instrument all the time. *wink wink ;)*
Eeewwwww
That’s gross
This isn't the place for innuendos, only innocent uses gather here.
Go back to etika if you want to not get killed.
Also that joke doesn't apply it's no nut november.
@@syllypilled A lot of people do it just deal with it
Same here bud. Wanna do a duet?
what is name of software to use this animation sir
I love this guys accent
I've played the Trumpet for 4 years and can pick up things really well but can't remember them and forget them if I don't do it regularly
Damn, I gave up early when learning various instruments because it was 'too hard.' I'll try to suck it up and dust off my guitar, might be easier than being stupid for the rest of my life.
I can't seem to get my fingers to position themselves correctly to be a guitar player. I'm giving other instruments a shot.
The video deserve much more than 50 k view.
Electric guitar got low entry lvl and huge amount of satisfaction and fun, i recommend it to everybody
Is this work alao when you sing?
I play ukulele and trumpet and only a bit if piano.
I can't read notes but I can somewhat play guitar... I kinda want to get a teacher, learning online or from a book isn't easy for me... I have been playing less and less and remember less and less... maybe I should start again learning the keyboard or something
"memory is better than ours"
Dude I literally forget a lot of things
Imagine if u werent a musician
Yesss😢
To the people who claim they play an instrument and don’t feel smart. Guess what? You are smart. Self doubt can hold you back a lot.
no wonder everytime i practice, i feel so tired, i only move my hand on guitar and sit but i got so exhausted.. :/
Are you a genius if you listen to music too ? 😋😄🙂
It is true if you incorporate it in your study hours, that could build the context which can improve your cognitive abilities. Honestly, ive never tried it, i suck at playing instrument so I played apex😆😆😆
Hi, really love your videos. Could you tell me which software you use to make these amazing videos? Thanks.
If it does, I am definitely the exception
I play four to university level and I'm thick as pig shit.
Altyazı açık olmasına rağmen çok yüzeysel anladım ama bu cidden herkeste gerçekleşen 1 durum değil çok örnek var hayatımda
Sounds too good to be true
I play the violin, so I guess I have one up over everyone
Any mental improvement?
Playing clarinet for 1 year-> bass clarinet for 3 years (almost4) -> I’m still bad at both.
clarinet player here can confirm
I’m sick of playing the violin, I’m always so busy. I have loads of homework, exams and after school activities. It’s so hard to keep practicing it. It’s brings me so much stress with it to. I’m pretty sure I’ll quit.
I play the violin as well and I felt exactly the same as you when I first started, I couldn't bring myself to practice and always made up excuses ( Too busy, I have too much school work...) I couldn't overcome the mental block and the fear of not playing as well as I want because I'm such a perfectionist. The violin is a particularly difficult instrument that requires a lot of consistent practice, if any small part of you enjoys playing it, please consider putting off 20 minutes every day in your busy schedule for practice because I can assure you you will look back in a few years and thank yourself for it. I urge you however not to force it, you can try a different instrument but don't quit because you don't have time for it. I recommend you watch twosetviolin videos for inspiration and to follow hilary hahn on Instagram for motivation to practise. You can do this! I believe in you and I hope along the process you get to discover the beauty of this wonderful instrument. If it ever gets too hard, remember why you started. Happy practising!
@@meriemdhouibi Thank you, I will try.

Notice any difference in intelligence/memory ?
Yes this is true statistics also show that people who played instruments in school did waay better than people who didn’t
im the minority of the statistic that played instruments then.. lul
who else is watching this while playing an instrument
What about the brains of drummers? You know, the guys who hang around musicians and beat on things after their shelter provider/girlfriend drives them to the gig?
