Even though we\u2019re sometimes firmly entrenched in our daily rituals, active music-making ensures that our everyday life becomes more diverse, varied and exciting. If just listening to your favourite songs produces dopamine and endorphins in your brain, you can just imagine what actively picking up an instrument or singing does! The special thing about music is that there are no limits. In view of the endless number of instruments and styles, the amount of possibilities in the field of music is huge. And there is no musician who has played and discovered everything that is possible and feasible in her or his lifetime. There are so many reasons to pick up an instrument-why not grab one?Enjoy our examples: #reasons2play!<\/strong>\u00a0??<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\">Passion for music = life choice<\/h3>\n<p>What could be better in life than an occupation in which one is able to take advantage of all their <strong>passion<\/strong>? Indeed, music is inconceivable without a good amount of passion and <strong>dedication<\/strong>. Every single note can be an expression of one&#8217;s own personality! The <strong>sense of achievement<\/strong> one gets while learning an instrument, or when the band hears the <strong>joyous roar<\/strong> of the audience, is amazing! Let&#8217;s hope that the pandemic restrictions will soon be forgotten so the that overwhelming sensation of a <strong>live crowd<\/strong> will be possible again&#8230; so that bands can play <strong>concerts<\/strong> again and music lovers can <strong>party<\/strong> together at <strong>festivals<\/strong> again. Making music is accompanied by a <strong>positive addiction<\/strong> factor.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-448306\" src=\"https:\/\/www.thomann.de\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/31351513_1820394661333472_7687174432506249216_n-1-289x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"289\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.thomann.de\/blog\/app\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2021\/06\/31351513_1820394661333472_7687174432506249216_n-1-289x300.jpg 289w, https:\/\/www.thomann.de\/blog\/app\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2021\/06\/31351513_1820394661333472_7687174432506249216_n-1.jpg 564w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 289px) 100vw, 289px\" \/><\/p>\n<h3><\/h3>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\">Happiness and fun &#8211; the ultimate goal<\/h3>\n<p>Many seasoned musicians will confirm that making music also brings a strenuous flip side of the coin with it. Already during <strong>practising<\/strong> and <strong>rehearsing<\/strong> &#8211; depending on the instrument &#8211; fingers, lips, shoulders or other parts of the body of the musician can <strong>hurt<\/strong>. Performances and <strong>tours<\/strong> are even more <strong>exhausting<\/strong>. And yet they don&#8217;t stop; they go on and on and on&#8230; The reason: living without those <strong>happy moments<\/strong> is unthinkable for them. Of course, some people complain that they haven&#8217;t learned anything else and all of their eggs are in the same basket. But that is not the point. Music is an <strong>attitude<\/strong>, a happy and desirable one, albeit one with <strong>ups and downs<\/strong>. Music offers you the <strong>biggest playground in the world<\/strong>, where you can<strong> let off steam<\/strong> and <strong>grow personally<\/strong>. <strong>Fun<\/strong> is guaranteed. And <strong>having fun together<\/strong> is even more rewarding. ?<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-448305\" src=\"https:\/\/www.thomann.de\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/14257627_1222287144477563_2934678279204779060_o-768x768-1-300x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.thomann.de\/blog\/app\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2021\/06\/14257627_1222287144477563_2934678279204779060_o-768x768-1-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.thomann.de\/blog\/app\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2021\/06\/14257627_1222287144477563_2934678279204779060_o-768x768-1-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.thomann.de\/blog\/app\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2021\/06\/14257627_1222287144477563_2934678279204779060_o-768x768-1.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\">Your instrument, your choice<\/h3>\n<p>Admittedly, the figures are not completely reliable, especially since there are always new developments on the <strong>global musical instrument market<\/strong>.
