Music is a powerful communication tool--it causes us to laugh, cry, think, and question. Bassist and five-time Grammy winner, Victor Wooten, asks us to approach music the same way we learn verbal language--by embracing mistakes and playing as often as possible.
Wooten says that beginning musicians should play more than they practice. Do you agree? Why or why not?
When you are first learning music, you should embrace mistakes instead of correcting them.
The studies, together with other research showing similar results (Chertkow et al., 2010), demonstrate a significant delay in the onset of symptoms of dementia, particularly Alzheimer’s disease, for people who have been lifelong bilinguals.
