I am writing a paper for my college class about the cognitive benefits of learning an instrument and the possibility that learning an instrument increases a person's ability for skill acquisition in other areas. I would like to ask you some subjective questions about whether you have perceived cognitive benefits or have found that learning an instrument has made learning other skills easier. I will leave room for text responses if you wish to elaborate on your answers. Thank you!
