 is an important skill for his development. Some even go as far as comparing its importance to writing and reading.
This

In addition
, I will explain why I consider teaching a
child
 to play a musical

 a waste of time. Teaching a
child
 to play a musical
instrument
 is not as important as teaching him reading or writing for multiple reasons. Reading and writing are important skills that a
child
 can benefit from during his whole life.
While
 some consider art and
music
 to be vital skills these days, their benefit for a
child
's development does not even come close to reading. If a
child
 knows how to read well, he can open for himself an ocean of knowledge in many fields of science and literature. The
ability
 to play a musical
instrument
 is vastly overrated for many purposes. It encourages the
child
 to waste time playing and listening to
music
instead
 of gaining other more important skills. Playing a musical
instrument
 as a skill is not helping the
child
 in his daily life activities. Even when the
child
 grows,
this
 skill can only benefit him if he plays in a band . Many students who graduated with a degree in arts and
music
 are still seeking jobs. Some had to abandon their dreams and worked in low-level jobs just to survive. In conclusion, Ther
ability

 children. In my opinion, it is not important to spend any time trying to teach a
child
 how to play a musical
