Some people say that music is an effective way of bringing people from different cultures and ages together. To what extent do you agree?

Many people believe that

music

is a useful tool to explore other

cultures

and make relations between populations of different ages. In my opinion, I completely agree with

this

statement and I believe that

music

is crucial for the development of connections between

cultures

thanks to its short format and that states bridge across generations

due to

its emotional implications. Nowadays, millions of

songs

are reproduced around the world every day and their short length is really helpful to divulge about different

cultures

. In only a song, a historical battle could be developed, and a special date of the country could be explained, using interesting features

such

as rhythm, instruments, lyrics or ambient sound.

For example

, there are many

songs

about the year when Spain won the world football cup.

In addition

,

songs

bring society similar emotions which makes the connection between them easier, sharing the same feelings when they are singing the song.

Moreover

,

music

is an effective art for bringing populations of different ages together, because of the heritage that elderly people give to children. When grandparents share their favourite

songs

with their grandchildren, they are sharing their memories and, at the same time, children are increasing bonds with their relatives.

For instance

, many peoples’ favourite

songs

are related to a special person that introduced them to the song and that evoque a strong feeling

such

as melancholy or happiness.

To conclude

, I support that

music

is an incredible format to share and divulge

cultures

and bring people of different ages together

due to

its short length and its emotional implications. If governments increase the funding for

music

lessons at schools, many students would develop solid emotional intelligence.
