Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? Younger school children (age’s five to ten) should be required to study art and music in addition to math, science, history and language.
Adults always concern about how to provide good ways for younger children to study at school. Besides math, science, history and language, many people suggest that art and music classes are also necessary. In my opinion, I totally support it.
It needs no further demonstration of the significance for little children to grow up with an all-around development. Courses such as math, science, history and language are basic for children to know the world, while art and music courses are complementary to learn better. One professor in my collage is a simultaneous interpreter of Japanese. However, he is also an excellent musician. He often tells us that music is very helpful for students to learn a foreign language. We can get much familiar with the Japanese words that appear both on the book and in the lyric. What’s more, it offers us other ways to masters the words. So, attending art and music classes is indeed useful for younger children.
As lots of parents and teachers pay more attention on the teaching process of math, science, history and language, most of them tend to neglect children’s potential of becoming proficient of art or music. It has proved out hundreds of times that once the gift of art or music is overlooked during the first several years’ development of little children, the ossified instruction pattern will bury down all their talents needed in art or music. A sister of my friend, she is very great at painting. But when it came to the grade-four in elementary school, the art class was canceled. All the students had to give up painting including the promising talented sister. Unfortunately, now she is as common as others because she cannot paint that well anymore. In this sense, lack of enough cultivation of art and music, schools serve nothing but blind regulation and miserable effacement.
In addition, according to scientific researches, learning different subjects contributes the development of both sides of brain, which benefits young children most. Besides, for little kids, taking art and music courses provides them more chances to make new friends. It’ll both strengthen their social ability and colorize their school life.
In sum, for younger school children, it’s obviously also necessary to study art and music beyond math, science, history and language. And I think, the earlier, the better. |
