🎶 Creativity may do more than inspire us — it may actually help us live longer.

A new study from researchers at University College London found that regular involvement in the arts — including music, painting, and singing — may slow biological aging by up to 4%.

In a study of more than 3,500 adults, those who regularly engaged in the arts were biologically about one year younger — with benefits comparable to physical exercise.

At Glencoe Academy of Music, we see every day how music reduces stress, builds confidence, and enriches lives.

🎹 Music changes everything.

Eat well and exercise. That's the classic advice for living a long, healthy life. A new study suggests another habit to add to the list: Let your creative juices flow.
