About Wanna Play
"Music is not only a hobby, it is a lifestyle. In fact, a stunning 82% who don't currently play an instrument wish they had learned to play one."
That's why the Wanna Play? campaign was born. To educate people about how beneficial playing a musical instrument is, and to inspire more people–from children to seniors–to become active participants in music making.
The Wanna Play? campaign was designed by NAMM, the not-for-profit trade association for the international music products industry. NAMM is comprised of more than 9,000 local music stores, manufacturers and affiliates that believe in music and wanted to develop a program focused on improving peoples’ lives by connecting them with the proven benefits of making music.
Everyone knows that playing a musical instrument is fun and entertaining, but did you also know that music making is scientifically proven to benefit people of all ages?
It's never too early––or too late––to pick up an instrument. Music making is a passion that can last a lifetime and play an integral part in maintaining a healthy mind and body.
At age 5 or age 85, everyone can benefit socially, mentally and physically from playing an instrument.
