YOUR BRAIN ON MUSIC

Panjam is on a mission to improve the lives of seniors using Virtual Reality technology and music learning. Playing a musical instrument generates sparks that light up all regions of the brain at once. It is a multisensory experience that engages the visual, the auditory and the motor cortices. Playing music stimulates high-level cognitive abilities that go on to affect learning and performance in non-musical spheres as well.

“Music affects the brain in many positive ways. It makes you smarter, happier and more productive at any age. Listening is good, playing is even better”

THE PROBLEM:

For many seniors, learning to play a musical instrument can be a daunting and challenging endeavor. Through extensive research, surveys, and interviews, we've identified four key pain points that often discourage seniors from pursuing their musical passions:

  1. Beginners’ Blues: The initial difficulty, frustration, and boredom that often accompany learning a new instrument can be discouraging.

  2. Physical Constraints: Many seniors face physical challenges such as arthritis or breathing difficulties, which can make traditional instruments hard to play.

  3. Mobility Issues: Seniors with limited mobility may find it difficult to access traditional music lessons or carry and store instruments.

  4. Cost and Tuition: The high cost of instruments, maintenance, and private lessons can be a significant burden on a retiree’s income.
