Baby Boomers can benefit from playing a musical instrument to stimulate the brain and maybe kick out a few endorphins in the process. We’re not too old to learn even if you’ve never played one before.
However, be aware that there are also significant risks to this hobby as family and friends may resort to violence especially when forced to listen to beginners. We might as well scratch bongos and tambourine off the following list right away for your safety’s sake. But these instruments are otherwise reasonably easy to learn.
- The Piano
- Harmonica
- Ukulele
- Guitar
- Tambourine
- Bongos
- Recorder
- Flute
We suggest wearing a helmet, to protect that newly stimulated brain, and a flak jacket. Good luck and let’s rock!
