A GREAT Reason to Practice!

by Elizabeth on October 10, 2010

Did you know that you can burn about 150 calories for every 30 minutes you spend playing a musical instrument??

NO! That’s not a typo. Of course, the number of calories you burn depends on your own body weight, but still, it makes me want to go in and play my harps!

Having a harp lesson, in person or online, burns those calories, too!

Of course, in all fairness, you can burn a few more calories in 30 minutes doing housework, but I’d rather play my harps!

Just a quick post, plus a little shameless self-promotion, but I’m trying to lose some weight, and every little bit of good news and motivation I can find really helps!

Just thought I’d share that bit of information with you!
