NEW YORK, July 4 There is no right or wrong age to take up music, it seems. In fact, American researchers say that learning to play an instrument in adulthood could be beneficial when we grow older. It could even lead to a new calling, later in life.
Not everyone learns to play the piano at age three like Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart or Martha Argerich. Some take up instruments later in life, and that’s no bad thing. Researchers at Stony Brook University in the US looked at whether playing a musical instrument during adolescence and adulthood had an effect on memory problems.
