Each subject always has its unique value, and music as well so it currently are chosen by many schools to not only help students get into this good value but also bring the progression and one own experience. However, some believe that this is a waste of time and resources. This essay will discuss both these sides and with additional personal opinion

It is good for students to experience music in school due to two main reasons. For the first reason, student’s musical talent will appear early as soon as they have learned music in school, especially primary and secondary school. In fact, the extraordinary talent of some of the world’s famous composers was performed when they were young such as Mozart, Beethoven, etc. Another important reason, Music is humankind’s great achievement so young people will discover significant lessons and has magnificent experiences for their life. For example, while students research classical music, they can find out strange things about music like melody, tempo, rhythm, etc.

However, music becoming a core subject in school also has some negative points. One of the main reasons is students who are always stuck in their deck with huge tasks have to spend time to study a no important subject. In fact, there are few parent’s requirements that schools should eliminate music so students have free time for relaxing in the rest time and more focusing on other academic subjects. Thus, over many subjects in school make students dizzy, even depressing. In a 2018 study, psychologists show that over 3 million students were hospitalized at this time because of forcing learning talent-based subjects.

In conclusion, no one can deny two sides of a coin, and a mentioned problem as well. Personally, It is necessary to teach music in school because of all of the above positive factors.

Each subject always has its own value, including music, which is currently chosen by many schools, not only to help students get into this good value, but also to bring further development and their own experience. However, some believe that this is a waste of time and resources. In this essay, we will discuss these two sides and provide an additional personal opinion.

It is good for students to experience music in school for two main reasons. The first reason is that once students have learned music in school, their musical talent is revealed early, especially in elementary and secondary school. In fact, the extraordinary talent of some world-famous composers such as Mozart, Beethoven, etc. was discovered when they were young. Another important reason: music is the great achievement of mankind, so young people can discover important lessons and have great experiences for their lives. For example, when students explore classical music, they can find out strange things about music such as melody, tempo, rhythm and so on.

However, the fact that music becomes a core subject in school also has some negative aspects. One of the main reasons is that students who are constantly busy with big tasks have to spend time on an unimportant subject. There are even some parents who demand that schools should do away with music as a subject so that students can have time to relax during breaks and focus more on other academic subjects. Thus, too many subjects in school make students dizzy, even depressed. In a 2018 study, psychologists show that more than 3 million students were hospitalized during this time because they were forced to study gifted-related subjects.

In conclusion, no one can deny that it is two sides of the same coin, and also a problem mentioned. Personally, I think that music lessons in school are necessary because of all the positive factors mentioned above.
