Is playing music good for the brain?

Playing music while sleeping helps my tinnitus, which helps me sleep, which helps my brain garbage collect. So, in my case at least, the answer is yes.

Yes it is about playing an instrument

Bp;dr: Playing an instrument or singing, gives you more gray matter, memory and executive function, and a slower cognitive decline. Playing multiple instruments doesn't have a benefit

It is behind paywall, but the question itself seems like trivial.

Can't speak for others, but it certainly is for me.
