What do you Think ?

 Introduction

In modern day society, education has become a vital aspect of every child’s life.

Educational facilities tend to offer a wide range of subjects aimed at educating

children and teaching them various skills. Fundamental subject areas are said to be
mathematics, science, languages and physical education.

Although it is commonly agreed that these subjects are vital for a child’s
educational upbringing, opinions differ when it comes to the subject of music.

Whilst some believe that musical education is an important part of growing up,
others believe that it should no longer be taught in schools, as it is considered a
waste of time and resources.
 Paragraph 1

Music falls under the subject area of art, causing it to often

be considered as less valuable than other subjects.

Typically people believe that learning to express oneself in a

creative manner is less important than learning about
mathematical theories and scientific facts.

Often the opponents of musical education propose that a

more rationally-based education will benefit children later on
in their lives, as they will be able to perceive and comprehend
the logical aspects of life more easily.

.
 Paragraph 2

The supporters of musical education argue that

music is beneficial for children, because it offers a
manner of creative self-expression.

Furthermore, music is part of human culture, as it

brings people together and therefore children who
study music can obtain a sense of cultural knowledge
 Personal Thought

Personally I believe that music should be taught in schools

and that it is not a waste of time and resources.

I played piano for seven years and believe that this has
helped me become a more balanced person.

It is important for a child to learn about thinking creatively

and to take a break from logical subjects once in a while.
 Conclusion

In conclusion, music should be taught at school,

because it enables children to express themselves creatively

and to learn more about culture and human interaction.
