Why playing an instrument benefits your brain

Learning to play an instrument increases one's intellect. 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 a musician's brain when he or she plays and examines some of the long-term positive effects of this mental workout.
