Education has been evolving by leaps and bounds and providing students new avenues while keeping themselves updated with the need of working industries.
Therefore
, a fair amount of people believe, schools should focus on important subjects
such
 as
computer
 and
science
. In my opinion,
music
also
 plays a crucial part in children's development and
this
 essay will explain why.
First
 of all,
music
 is an art, but
also
 a
science
, which is why it is important for children to learn
this
 subject at school. It requires a skill to understand the theory, and a creativity to apply and to produce the art. The example for
this
 is the vast amount of musical scales and how artists apply these theories to compose a song.
Secondly
, studies
also
 proven that by learning
music
, it increases the children's cognitive ability. Students who are practicing in
music
 are often found equally proficient in other subjects like
computer
 and
science
. A good example of
this
 is the
music
 theory itself, where one require to calculate the movements of the keys ahead while playing an instrument.
This
 activity trains the agility of one's mind and at the same time, increase the cognitive skills.
Lastly
,
music
 is
also
 a career path where for some is a passion.
Similarly
 to
computer
 and
science
,
music
, today, there are people who work in the
music
 industry.
This
 is supported by many musical academies today and they are as good as those IT or
science
 schools. Berkley,
for instance
, a renounce university who specialized in preparing its student to work in the
music
 industry. To conclude, while
computer
 and
science
 are required by the industry today, I believe
music
 plays an important role to boost student's cognitive skills as well as one's passion if being taught in the schools. Given the above, I recommend for education authority to include
music
 to be part of the education curriculum.
