Unleash your musical potential: Can you start playing an instrument at any age?

A few weeks ago, I was having a conversation with a friend. In fact, it was more than just a debate about whether the other side of the twenties is a bad time to learn an instrument. While I was against this statement, my friend was fully in favor of

it. Personally, this can be considered bias. It is easy for someone to say that learning a musical instrument is not difficult after a certain age if a person already plays it. Perhaps my friend had a slightly more realistic view on this as someone trying to do the said task. So what does science say?

Is it too late?

Let's move on to the answer, which is a resounding "no"!

I read that right. It's never too late to learn how to play a new instrument. While it won't necessarily be as easy to learn from childhood, it's certainly not impossible.

Consider reading and playing a piece of music. Your brain performs multiple functions. You should read music, understand and maintain the rhythm, rely on your memory to play notes/strings, and if it's an instrument like a guitar or harp, your hands will also need to play the strings properly.

Unlike language learning or drawing, there are no specific brain areas for learning a musical instrument. Instead, different areas of the brain communicate with each other to produce a beautiful violin melody, or dramatic piano concerto.

The auditory cortex in the temporal lobe detects complex musical notes and the visual cortex is activated to read the musical note, the cerebellum is involved in voluntary motor control and the sensory-motor areas of the brain sense motor movements. All these different areas and others that are not mentioned coordinate with each other to produce, for example, Beethoven's "Moonlight Sonata". And don't forget to use parts of the prefrontal cortex for concentration, parts of the brain involved in the emotional response of parts, and memory structures such as the hippocampus.

It is a real orchestra of the brain. Among these orchestras, the cerebellum deserves special mention. This structure is located at the base of the skull, beneath the larger brain, and has been the focus of much exciting research in the last two decades of neuroscience.

It looks like a small brain, with complex folds and two hemispheres. The cerebellum is responsible for our motor skill. Activities such as writing, sitting upright, jumping, or playing the guitar require the cerebellum to do its job. Researchers are exploring how the cerebellum helps us learn and improve our motor skills, as well as its relationship to cognition.

Why should you choose a new tool after the age of thirty?

Developing and maintaining this format is easier in childhood than in adulthood. Since children's brain cells are still developing, it's easier to create cells dedicated only to the instrument they play. However, at puberty, no new cells form. The way to learn a tool is to create new connections between already existing cells, and then enhance these neural pathways.

That's why, although it's difficult, it's not impossible to learn a new musical instrument after your thirtieth birthday. In fact, there are actually some advantages!

Let's start with the fact that music has a surprising number of advantages, from being a way to de-stress to realizing your hidden potential. As an adult, you need a way to de-stress more than the 12-year-old version. So, music can be a great release. Learning a new tool is like any other new challenge, as it keeps those gray cells going. It can prevent your brain cells from wilt and actually make you more alert. Patience is key here. As an adult, you essentially have better discipline and patience to learn a new tool.

If you don't use it, you'll lose it

The adult brain is not fixed and does not change. Even in adulthood, the brain has the ability to reshape and create new connections. At the age of thirty, one may not have an arsenal of new neurons that a child's brain possesses, but the ability to learn and reshape connections is still there. This ability is called plasticity.

But as the old saying goes, "If you don't use them, you'll lose them," practice reinforces these newly formed neural connections. Children find the practice easier not only because their brains are still developing, but because they lack the inhibitions that many adults face from failure. So, patience is key here. As an adult, you have better discipline and patience to learn a new tool, and you can remind yourself that failure is not bad.

Adults also have a better understanding of music than a child, which can be a game-changer. Most children are motivated for reasons other than their desire to learn a new form of music. As an adult, you are the master of your own life, and the fact that you decided to learn a new musical instrument speaks a lot about your motivation, not just a child forced to go to his evening class by his authoritarian parents.

Learning a new tool can be a daunting challenge. However, it is not impossible, although it seems like a daunting task! I think what I'm trying to say is that you shouldn't lament wasted time. If you've always wanted to play drums all over the world, pick up those drumsticks, give yourself a nice enthusiastic talk, read this article again and get to work!
