How playing an instrument benefits your brain - Anita Collins
How playing an instrument benefits your brain - Anita Collins
When you listen to music, multiple areas of your brain become engaged and active. But when you actually play an instrument, that activity becomes more like a full-body brain workout. What's going on? Anita Collins explains the fireworks that go off in musicians' brains when they play, and examines some of the long-term positive effects of this mental workout. Lesson by Anita Collins, animation by Sharon Colman Graham.

I had an emergency with my kids and had to cancel lessons. They refunded my order without being asked and were very helpful. Five star customer service! Thanks

My daughters both take singing lessons at Music Motive and I have taken drum lessons. My drumming instruction, Dale, is highly skilled, patient, funny, and excellent at making complicated ideas simple. Both my daughters have enjoyed their lessons.

Great teachers. My son has drums with wyatt in their paso studio, and all our experiences have been nothing but exceptional with all their teachers as well as management. We've also hado our daughter's in piano and voice. Great operation.

This is a great place for musical instrument or singing training. Also if you need instruments or accessories, the prices are comparable to online retailers such as Amazon. Buy here and support local business. The instructors we've worked with are top notch and work well with kids. My son loves learning to play the drums.

We have taken our son here to drum lessons and guitar lessons. He really enjoys the teachers he has had and gets a lot from the lessons. This place is convenient because they are close to Paso Robles. They also have a popular class on bucket drum playing. I've seen their group perform many places. I recommend this place.

Not just a great place for lessons, but a super place for accessories. One time i casually mentioned a gauge of bass strings by a certain manufacturer i like, and since that visit, they always have a pack or two, and the mark up is pretty much non existent
