You should spend about 40 minutes on this task. In some countries, only few young people go to classical music concerts or or play classical music. Why? Should young people be encouraged to attend and learn more? You should write at least 250 words.

Imagine being a classical musician in university and heading to the stage to play the piece that you have prepared without rest for three weeks. Yet, you could count the turn-up rate with your fingers. Well,

that is

the current situation with classical

music

concerts nowadays.

Hence

, in

this

essay, I will be exploring the reasons for the

lack

of enthusiasm among young

people

and state my opinion on how to make young

people

more proactive. A possible reason might be the costs involved in being more active in the world of classical

music

. The market price for a

violin

ranges from $650 to a few thousand depending on the quality, craftsmen and the skill level of the player.

Additionally

, items that are essential for a

violin

such

as a bow, string and rosin would add up to a few hundred. Adding

violin

lessons would bump up the rate to at least $1000 if we were to exclude the purchase of the

violin

. In order to get a clear view, a price of $40 needs to be paid for classical

music

concerts. Taking into consideration that some young

people

might not have

this

much money to spare every year, it is inevitable that only a few attend. At the other end of the spectrum, they simply

lack

interest

in the classical

music

world. Words that they often associated classical

music

with are 'boring' or 'time-consuming', which I can empathise with given that concerts usually

last

for three hours.

Furthermore

, with their poor knowledge of the pieces being played and the dexterity required for each piece, it is hard for them to truly appreciate and admire the musician's skills during the concert.

Hence

, they would prefer to remain distant from the classical

music

circle.

Although

I understand the reasons stated for their

lack

of

interest

,

however

, I do still subscribe to the belief that classical

music

should be advocated

Change preposition

by

young

people

. I attribute their

lack

of

interest

to the

lack

of exposure they had to classical

music

. In order to spark their

interest

, I think that schools or the government have a role to play, especially during

this

age of exploring their hobbies and interests. If classical

music

was being introduced to them during their schooling years, the participation rate of younger

people

might ameliorate. In a nutshell,

although

the cost of being active within the classical

music

world is high, I still believe that young

people

should be more involved in the classical

music

scene.
