Q: 60% of us did this as kids but only 16% still do this weekly. What is it?
A: Play an instrument.
Overall, 66 per cent of those polled said they had learned to play an instrument in their childhood, and about one in six said they continue to play an instrument at least once a week as adults.
Some of the benefits people reported as stemming from learning to play an instrument included heightened mental focus, enhanced creativity, improved confidence and ability to self-teach.
Sixty-six per cent said learning an instrument is as important as mastering a second language, and 77 per cent rated it as just as beneficial for children as involvement in sports.
