In some countries, there are fewer young people who listen to or play classical music these days. Why is this? Should young people be encouraged to play or perform classical music?

Nowadays musical preferences are going through changes among young people and

this

issue has become quite controversial. In

this

essay, I would like to identify the causes of

this

situation and propose some corresponding solutions. The central reason behind the decreasing interest of the younger population in classical

music

is the fast pace of life caused by technological progress. Traditional classical

music

is being replaced by the

new musical genres are being created and gain lots of popularity. At the same time, classical

music

has not lost its relevance through the centuries, so classical

music

is a part of our cultural heritage, which must be protected.

For example

, the American Psychological Association conducted a study that showed the positive impact of classical

music

on mental development in infancy. Namely, children who listen to the works of Mozart are 17% calmer than their peers and 30% more show curiosity about the world.

Thus

, by encouraging the interest of young people in the classics, society preserves its cultural heritage and benefits from its positive aspects. In conclusion, I would like to note that classical

music

is certainly an object of cultural heritage that must be preserved for the benefit of society. But at the same
