you patience and perseverance.

Increases your responsibility.
Through consistent practice and caring for their instrument, one learns the importance of commitment and meeting their obligations.
Exposes you to cultural history.
Music itself is history, and each piece usually has its own background and storyline that can further your appreciation of other cultures.
Promotes your social skills
If you choose to play in a band, an orchestra, or a choir, you will have to communicate, problem-solve together and resolve conflict. You will have to deal with conflict in this life; it’s just unavoidable.
Boosts your listening skills.
You have to learn how to hear when you’re playing a wrong note in order to correct yourself. When playing in an ensemble, you have to listen for the melody and play softer if you’re the supporting part (accompaniment).
Teaches you discipline.
The best musicians in the world are masters of discipline which is why they are so successful on their instrument.
Elevates your performance skills and reduces stage fright.
The more you get up in front of people and perform, the more you’ll reduce any stage fright. Playing on stage in a band or orchestra helps with stage fright because you’re not alone.
Enhances your respiratory system.
In order to play any piece of music correctly when playing an instrument, you’ll need to take huge breaths and learn how to expel the air properly to make the desired sound.
Promotes happiness in your life and those around you.
Playing a musical instrument can be very fun and exciting. Not only is it fun to play music that you enjoy, but it feels wonderful to hear an audience applaud you for giving a great performance.
Sharpens your concentration.
Playing music by yourself requires you to concentrate on things like pitch, rhythm, tempo, note duration, and quality of sound.
Fosters your self-expression and relieves stress.
Music is an art–just like an artist can paint his/her emotions onto a canvas, so can a musician play a piece with emotion. This has proven to relieve stress and can be a great form of therapy.
Creates a sense of achievement.
As you practice and become a more experienced musician, making beautiful sounding music pleasing not only to your ear, but others as well is a very rewarding experience.
