Some educationalists say that every child should be taught how to play a musical instrument. To what extent do you agree or disagree? Give reasons for your answer and include any relevant examples from your own knowledge or experience.

It is commonly argued that some experts say that
children
should be taught how to play a musical
instrument
. Personally, I can neither completely agree nor disagree with
this
statement for a variety of reasons. I partly agree that
children
should learn to play musical
instruments
. One of the main reasons can be that they can develop their brain when they know a little bit about
instruments
.
This
means that it might help
children
to have creativity since childhood. Another reason can be that kids are released from the difficulties in their life when they practise or learn musical
instruments
.
For example
, my nephew is learning piano now. If he has a lot of homework during exam season, he will play the piano for 20 minutes. He told me that he feels delighted and has more energy to do homework.
On the other hand
, I disagree with the viewpoint that every child should learn a musical
instrument
.
Firstly
, some kids spent so much
time
studying or practising
instruments
, but it was not improved.
This
is because they might have no talent for music.
For example
, I gave up studying piano after 8 months, when I was 7 years old. Because I didn’t play one whole song for a long
time
learning.
Secondly
, some
children
may have a lot of things to do at their school, so they might not have enough
time
and energy for balance.
In addition
, they will not have
time
for playing other things, if they study musical
instruments
.
For instance
, I saw some
children
, they are always sleepy and tired.
This
is because they need to study in school in the morning and study more
instruments
at night. In conclusion,
although
children
should be taught how to play a musical
instrument
, I’m convinced that kids should learn a musical
instrument
to make them more creative and pleasant.
