Some educationalists say that every child should be taught how to play a musical instrument. To what extent do you agree or disagree?

Music
is proved to be an important part of our lives as thousands of people listen to
music
every day and many play different instruments.
Thus
, there is an opinion among those who work in a sphere of education that children should be taught how to play musical instruments. From my point of view, no one especially children should be obliged to learn how to play the piano, violin and other instruments.
To begin
with, if make someone learn or do things that she or he does not like, it may lead to negative results. To say that, teenagers, that were pushed by their parents to learn
music
, start protesting against it. Unfortunately, some of them hate playing musical instruments even those who were good at it.
Furthermore
, not everyone has an ability to learn
such
complicated subject as
music
. It is well-known that some individuals cannot hear notes correctly, in Russia,we usually say "bear stepped on the ear". For
such
people,
music
lessons

simply a waste of time and may cause disappointment in self-learning abilities.
Thus
, compulsory
music
classes might be harmful to children and affect their mental health.
Nevertheless
, as creativity is a part of mental processes, which should be developed since the very early days of a child.
For example
, children are known to become bored from classes,
music
may help to attract them to the educational process.
Moreover
, according to the research
music
practise directly influence on the brain, making it work better. In
this
way, by learning how to play
music
instruments children could improve their overall school performance. To conclude, it is obvious that
music
lessons have a positive effect on our development, especially at an early age.
However
, creativity could be improved through drawing, sculpture, carving, dance and many others, so every child could choose any that he or she like more.
