Hearing the sounds of a musical instrument can be very relaxing and stress-free. However, that doesn't mean we have to study the instrument and be forced to play it. Student's shouldn't be required to play an instrument in school, because its unnecessary, requires a lot of work, and can be extremely stressful, which is why students shouldn't be required to play. Many students in the modern day complain about their classes in school and how they specifically didn't want or need a music class. This can be the evidence in which students may not have a choice of what they think is best for them, or what's not. Student's shouldn't be required to play an instrument in school, because its unnecessary. According to Source#3, "not every student will benefit from being taken out of class in the middle of the school day to learn to play music." Considering this, students may not see the necessity of learning how to play music, because not every person can benefit from it or even connect with it. Another example from Source#3 can be that, "many students need to stay in class, they need to work on their Reading, Writing, and Math skills." Therefore, many students need the time to actually learn legitimate things in school rather than focusing on music that can never help them move …show more content…
For example in Source#3, "playing an instrument requires a lot of practice at home." Additionally, playing an instrument is very hard work and students with other studies can struggle and find it difficult to handle both of the tasks, especially if their studies are ten times as hard. There is another similar example that can also be found in Source#3. It states that, "students do not have time to practice their instruments." This conveys to the idea that, playing an instrument can require a lot of hard work that shouldn't interfere with the imperative studies of
Throughout history music has played an important role in society, whether it was Mozart moving people with his newest opera or the latest album from the Beatles. Where would society be today without music? With schools cutting their music programs, the next Mozart may not get his chance to discover his amazing talent. Music programs are essential to education. To fully understand this one must understand how music helps the human body, why schools have cut music programs, and why people should learn music.
Before addressing the need for music instruction in our schools I would like to briefly examine the need for education of any kind. Education is a means of making sure our society has a given set of knowledge. The set of knowledge we perceive ourselves as needing changes based on our surroundings and the issues we are dealing with. In American education's early history we perceived ourselves as needing a set of knowledge that included a common language and common view of history, as well as knowledge of those things with which we would interact every day. In many ways early public education was more a means of social control than an altruistic endeavor. In today's climate we see ourselves as having more diverse needs in our education...
Students should be required to stay in school until age 18. Staying in school longer allows for more time to earn enough credits to graduate. Experts say that having a high school diploma allows for better job opportunities and higher earnings. With a better job, there will be more job satisfaction. If the minimum age requirement for high school is 18 years, then there will be a lower dropout rate, higher average earnings, and higher job satisfaction.
The American school system has been put under an immense amount of stress in the past few years. Funding has been moved, held back, and/or taken away from various classes. However, one of the largest fights for funding is found in music education. Without funding, music classes are unable to properly educate children in music. With more and more money being taken away, the youngest generation is growing up with less musical intelligence.
“Recent studies show that being involved in music classes makes it easier to learn other subjects and improve skills in other classrooms” (Brown, “The Benefits of Music Education”). A lot of people tend to overlook how much music education has an impact on the success of a student. Because of this, schools should be required to offer fine arts and music classes as electives for the students. Not only will this improve the students test scores, but it will also give the students a broader imagination and more creativity in and out of the classroom. In a lot of schools, fine arts and musical classes are the first to go when there are budget cuts. “Seventy-one percent of the nation’s fifteen thousand school districts have cut instructional hours spent on music and other subjects” (“State of the arts: should music and art classes be brushed aside”). Not only is it affecting the teachers who have specialized in the study of fine arts, it is affecting all of the students and parents who are actively involved in these programs. “Johnson, professor of music education and music therapy and associate dean of the School of Fine Arts at KU, found jumps of twenty-two percent in English test scores and twenty percent in math scores at elementary schools with superior music education” (Lynch “Music Boosts Test Scores”). With that being said, schools should be required to offer music and fine arts classes as an elective for their students.
The position that is being argued is that music should stay in schools. This author is making the claim that music makes children excel in their education. This author uses many different sources. The author relies mainly on studies to back up his argument. The article is recent.
Kids shouldn't be forced to play an instrument at school because kids have other things to do. "Playing an instrument requieres a lot of practice." (Source 3). Many children have responsibilities at home, not including homework and other extra-corricular activities, and to accumulate all these things and put all this work on top of a child's shoulders would be cruel and unfair, especcially if the child doesn't want to play the instrument. "Families want their children to focus more on school work." (Source 3). Some teachers out there exagerrate on the amount of homework they assign to their students, therefore if they add all this homework and so many hours of practice, the child would be exhausted almost everyday.
Friedrich Nietzsche once said, “Without music, life would be a mistake”. Music is almost as old as the human race and is as much a part of it as anything. So why would anyone choose to get rid of it? An Increasing number of schools across the nation are deciding to cut music education programs. This includes band, orchestra, choir, and general music classes. In 1991, 55.4 percent of public school eighth-graders took part in music classes at school. In 2004, this figure was just 49.1 percent. Money plays a huge role in this statistic: “...when funds are scarce, arts courses are usually the first to be dropped from a school’s curriculum” (“Arts Education”). While many argue that music education is an unnecessary cost for schools, it improves student’s overall well being.
skills in many aspects is important. The thinking has deeper influenced in most of country all over the world. For example in England, students are thinking music is important because of education. “Currently, music is compulsory in the national curriculum up to the age of 14, but fewer than one in 10 pupils take the subject at GCSE level. The review, which is expected to make its recommendations before the end of the year, could lead to a sharp rise in the number of pupils learning instruments such as the guitar, piano, violin, trumpet and flute at school.” (By Graeme Paton, Education Editor) (citation
Do you like your electronic devices? Do you want to use it at school? Well, you have come to the right place. By electronics in school can mean you can use your phones, laptops, Ipods, and tablets in school. Not only these devices but more like a Playstation Portable(PSP) or a Dual Screen(DS).

Even when children learn music they able to listen, sing, dance, create movement. Listening to music draw out emotions, and playing music can be just like communicating emotions. Some people find this a very powerful experience. “ Music enriches the lives of students and should be considered a necessary part of education.”
With the blooming development of science and technology, mobile phones have become an indispensable part of life. The increasing number of teenagers who use a cell phone in schools which disrupts classrooms orders has become a major concern. However, mobile phones should not be banned in schools. Actually, it is not necessary to ban mobile phones in schools. Additionally, using mobile phones in schools has some positive influences. Furthermore, it is likewise a human right for students.
Playing a musical instrument as a hobby, gives an immense sense of achievement and true satisfaction, in that one can never feel like playing difficult songs or playing it flawlessly. This boosts the ego and enforces sense of self-achievement, which accomplish more in other aspects of life. Playing instrument as a hobby, require regular practice and dedication. Allotting time to practice daily develops discipline in a person. This can be very advantageous to children who, research shows that everything else fails, but music disciplines children-when they are naturally curious and excited about it.
Learning to play any musical instrument, benefits an individual in all aspects of life, whether it 's academically, socially, physically, or emotionally. Instruments that were created to make musical sounds are categorized into five main groups; strings, woodwinds, brass, percussion, and keyboards. And all it takes is dedication and admiration in order to successfully learn how to play an instrument. I believe that musicians, those who have musical ability, have an advantage over other individuals who don 't have the knowledge to play an instrument. Becoming a musician will also open up so many opportunities that are undeniably gratifying.
Music, art, dance and drama is a huge hobby people may have. It been a class in school for many years. It’s a fun class that you can learn about your strengths and weaknesses. Many people don’t like the same hobby as others. I think that we should keep theses classes so we can learn about the background of it all. It shouldn’t be a requirement to take these classes it should be optional. kids need to learn what they like to do so they can learn what their career may be for the future. without these classes they can 't learn much about themselves.
