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

#educationalists #child #instrument
At present, one of the main topics in the education system is to attract childrens' attention not only to study
,
Remove the comma
apply
show examples
 but
also
 to art.‌‌ In my opinion,
children
 really should be able to play musical instruments. Because music helps them develop their intelligence, be calm, and
also
 develops their creative thinking.
For example
, my nephew has been taking piano lessons since childhood, and I noticed that he differs from his teenagers in his mind and character.‌‌
On the other hand
, I think that the decision should be left to the
children
, if they do not want to do art,
then
 it is better to help them find another hobby. Because many
children
 are more interested in doing exact subjects than art.
In addition
, learning to play musical instruments requires them a lot of time, effort and patience, which are difficult to master.
However
, many
children
 often do not follow through and stop playing instruments after a certain time.‌‌ In conclusion, I think that
children
 should be able to play at least one musical instrument. Because, in my opinion, it helps them to love the world, to be smart, calm, and
also
 polite.‌‌
