Starting from scratch at 70

She takes up the drums and 70, now 72 she plays in two jazz bands. Go girl! Proof below.

Benefits:

"Research shows that music stimulates the brain and enhances memory in older people. In one study, adults aged 60 to 85 without previous musical experience showed improved verbal fluency and processing speed after a few months of weekly piano lessons." Jennifer Bugos, assistant professor of music education at the University of South Florida 

I say imagine what it does for those who keep playing throughout their lives.

Cheers,
