Could learning a musical instrument be good for your health? According to an online guide published on the 麻豆社鈥檚 iWonder site, older adults who took drumming lessons had higher than average white blood cell counts, which are vital for an effective immune system.

Kayleigh Cheer is a drumming teacher and said 鈥淚f I didn鈥檛 play the drums every day I鈥檇 be a very stressed out person.鈥�

Kayleigh said 鈥渁nyone can play the drums - you don鈥檛 have to good academically, you don鈥檛 need natural rhythm. But if you have a heartbeat you have natural rhythm.鈥�

The iWonder guide is part of the 麻豆社鈥檚 Get Playing campaign, encouraging people to take up a musical instrument and share a video of themselves playing to the 麻豆社 musical orchestra.
