My mom gave me piano lessons when I was a kid but my piano teacher quit giving lessons (not because of me I promise lol) so I didn’t get to learn to play well from a kid. I then somewhat learned as a senior in high school but I imagine it would have been much easier to learn as a kid. But I also know how to play flute because I started in 6th grade and also started playing piccolo sometime in high school. I haven’t played in a while though.

My mother was a church pianist for over 50 years and even though she had advanced dementia, it was absolutely amazing to hear her playing the piano in the middle of the night. I would lay in bed and listen as she seamlessly played snippets of Amazing Grace, How Great Thou Art and The Old Rugged Cross mixed with Oh Danny Boy, You Are My Sunshine and She’ll Be Coming Around the Mountain When She Comes. All from memory and with her own special flair. Oh how I treasured those moments!

How is this even possible? I've heard of many such cases - advanced dementia, can't remember his name, but plays the piano from memory. Is there a special indestructible place in the brain for music?

@geiiger 9 ай бұрын

music is not stored as other memories are. So its the connections that wear out losing the memory link to any other so its forgotten but music has an entirely separate means perhaps because its audio and the brain processes light perception and audio perception independently of other types of information. For example in cats, they have whiskers connected to the same area as the eyes so even a blind cat can sense objects to a lesser amount this is related to their hunting in the dark; it might give a clue on music in humans being more reliable also.@@userpanx

This is so heartwarming. My mom was also a lifelong pianist and retained her musical skills after dementia ravaged her. She couldn’t remember anything or read music anymore, but she could play almost any song flawlessly by ear. Eventually she started playing for the staff and other residents during mealtimes at her care facility, and I felt it was comforting to her to know she still had purpose. The contrast between her abilities when at the piano and when not at the piano was astounding. Only music could unlock her from dementia.

Playing piano simultaneously engages 3 separate parts of the brain spatial reasoning, language, and emotion all linked into muscle memory. So it's not just a platitude Music the Universal language.

Ethan Quinn I like all kinds of different instruments. From popular instruments like the piano to lesser known instruments like ocarinas, I like the sounds of instruments like those two and want to learn how to play them. I have ocarinas of my own that I really like. Ocarinas are unique wind instruments similar to recorders. They come in all different shapes and sizes, from tiny necklace ocarinas to huge bass ocarinas! Ocarinas were made popular by The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, an adventure game released in 1998 by Nintendo. Ocarina of Time is said to be “the best video game of all time,” because of how well the game’s mechanics and story are crafted. Everything from the dialogues to the boss battles is so great that people have developed Zelda obsessions, including myself. I have a Master Sword, a Hylian Shield, and a Link costume, as well as a very nice Ocarina of Time from STL Ocarina of St. Louis, Missouri. I also have Zelda games (Obviously!), Zelda posters, and even Zelda clothes!
