Some educators believe that every child should be taught how to play a musical instrument. To what extent do you agree or disagree?
Music has been gaining a lot of attention from people nowadays. Some educators believe that playing musical instruments should be made a mandatory part of education whilst some others don't.
However
, I do not completely agree with mandating music for all the students. In the below essay I will draw my arguments to support the aforementioned viewpoint.

First
of all, the pupils should be given a chance to choose the topis they would want to study. Recently, choice-based programmes have started to gain popularity. Linking Words
As a result
of Linking Words
this
, kids get the right to choose the course of their own choice. Linking Words
For example
, if anyone is interested in learning medical science Linking Words
then
they should better focus on subjects related to biology and chemistry Linking Words
instead
of the subjects that have no relevance to achieve their goals. Linking Words
Secondly
, enrolling everyone in the instruments will create unnecessary financial constraints for the parents as well as the institutions. Linking Words
Moreover
, some parents aren't financially sound enough to support their academics well, Linking Words
therefore
, buying additional equipment will create economic distress for them.

In addition
to that, the choice of the syllabus is usually based on skills in demand. There are many other skills like photography, painting, dancing and sports etc. Promoting an individual activity will not be fruitful. The other skills should be equally promoted. Linking Words
Besides
, for the balanced competition in the profession ,later on, everyone should be provided with an equal opportunity to read the curriculum of their interests.
To conclude, I reiterate that youth should be provided with an optional list of subjects to choose from. By imposing anything or any subject on them, they will become more reluctant to the course and may even back up. Those having an interest in music should definitely be given a platform to learn it with traditional education.Linking Words
