Why is music an important subject that every child should study?
First of all,music helps us when we are unhappy because it gives us pleasure. There are many different types of music:slow and fast,serious and relaxing. We can choose the music to match our feelings. Second,playing music is fun. People enjoy playing the drums 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 much better. Students who have learnt to play music are also better at Maths. This is not surprising,as music is mathematical,with notes(音符)in order. Playing music with others also teaches children to work together. People who can play musical instruments always have something they can do at a party. Older children in the school orchestras enjoy school more and do not drop out of school early.
Playing an instrument needs a lot of practice,and it can be difficult to ask your child to spend hours playing the piano or the guitar. So music practice should be a daily habit,but do not make the practice too long.
Parents should listen to their children playing and tell them that they are doing well. Practice should also be fun. It is also a good idea to finish the practice with a piece of music the child likes,and learning music will be a pleasant part of the day.
