Some people feel that music should be taught in school while others believe it is better to focus on the sciences. Discuss both views and give your opinion.

There is no denying the fact that the need of teaching

music

at

schools

is debatable. It is widely argued that

schools

should teach artistic

subjects

such

as

music

,

however

, a lot of people suggested that focusing on STEM

subjects

would be more beneficial. In my opinion, I believe that

subjects

like

music

must take a place in

schools

' teaching schedules.

First

of all, the variety of students' interests and the lack of

music

teachers' opportunities are key reasons to teach

music

. Some pupils have a passion for playing one of the musical instruments, so, the school could be a great foster environment to improve

this

skill. Taking Yanni

for example

(A Polish musician),

although

he is one of the most successful musicians in the world, he admitted that he is weak in

sciences

subjects

.

Furthermore

, given the lack of job opportunities for art teachers, teaching artistic

subjects

will increase the chance for them to have a job.

For instance

, in Jordan, a recent study shows that more than 400

music

teachers are unemployed.

On the other hand

, STEM

subjects

(

Sciences

, Technology, Engineering, and Math) are more useful in practical life.

In other words

, studying

sciences

helps individuals in building their careers easier because of the focus on them globally. A growing body of research suggests that up to 30% of

subjects

that students learn in

schools

, including

music

, are useless in real life after graduation. Another key reason is that in some religious countries,

music

is considered forbidden. In conclusion, while artistic

subjects

have less importance than

sciences

subjects

, the positive effect of teaching them in

schools

outweighs it.

Thus

, school teaching of

music

is a must.
