Question

Why is music an important subject that every child should study?

First of all, music helps us when we are unhappy, and gives us pleasure when we are happy. There are many different types of music: slow and fast, serious and relaxing. We can choose the music to match our feelings. And second, music is fun. Everyone enjoys playing a drum and using their energy!

Scientists say that music helps children with language learning. Singing simple songs is good for young children. -Music improves the ear-and we know that children who have studied music can learn foreign languages more easily and pronounce them far better. Students who have learnt to play music are also better at mathematics (Maths). This is not surprising, as music is mathematical, with notes (音符) in order. Playing music with other people also teaches children to work together. People who can play musical instruments always have something they can do at a party. Older children who play in school bands and orchestras enjoy school more and do not drop out of school early.

You need a lot of practice to play an instrument, and it can be difficult to persuade your child to spend hours at the piano or playing the guitar. So music practice should be a daily habit—for example, every day after school, but do not make the practice too long.

Parents should listen to their child playing and tell him or her that they enjoy it. Practice should also be fun. It is also a good idea to finish the practice with a piece of music the child likes, and so learning music will be a pleasant part of the day.
