I'd say yes. After all, Mozart's long life supports your argument. Be fair! He had an atrociously high lifestyle to maintain - died of overwork.

I used to be weak and feeble, but then I started playing the piano, and I feel... somewhat different.
I feel... smarter... stronger... faster... more aggressive... And I feel like I could... I feel like I could... I feel like I could TAKE ON THE WORLD ! Look! In that smoky bar! It's...it's.. THE PIANO MAN! [cue heroic music] ...sing us a song tonight...
I'll figure it out eventually. Until then you may want to keep a safe distance. ![[Linked Image]](https://www.pianoworld.com/ABF_Medals/3medals.jpg) ![[Linked Image]](https://www.pianoworld.com/forumpicts/MOYD_2011/MOYD_1.gif)

This thread is just as dumb as the "Are pianist's more intelligent" thread.
There are famous pianists that lived long lives, and there are ones that didn't, like Dinu Lipatti and Gershwin. Same as any profession...

It's not the topic that counts it's what you make of it - in both threads (I think Bach would agree there).

I don't know about living longer, but studies have indicated that keyboard musicians (piano, organ), especially if they are reading music when they play, suffer less from dementia, in all of its various forms. Apparently it has to do with how the brain is stimulated.
A good reason to keep playing in my opinion!

If Piano causes you to have a sedated life style, then no it will kill you....  If you have gained weight because you play instead of exercise it will kill you...
