All students ought to study art and music in school. To what extent do you agree or disagree?

It is generally accepted that

art

and

music

have existed for thousands of years and they have been used for many different purposes.

However

, some

people

see it as a meaningless subject to study, and

this

has led to an argument about whether they should be taught in schools or not. In my opinion, I would agree that we need to learn them to enhance our soft skills for some reasons which are set out below.

First,

It is generally accepted that it would take years of practice for someone to master

art

or

music

and most

people

give up on their first year.

Therefore

, some

people

find them hard to comprehend and they don’t understand the meaning behind it.

However

, I agree with most

people

that both aspects are one of the most beautiful ways for someone to express their feelings. It has

also

been scientifically proven that

art

and

music

give pleasure to most

people

and it relieves stress.

For instance

, many musicians write songs to express their emotions and their fans enjoy listening to them.

Second,

as we all know, there are many types of

art

and

music

. Most

people

have a hard time understanding and find interest in different types of them. To give an example, most

people

in the current generation only listen to pop

music

.

In contrast

, I would say that

art

and

music

are very useful because most cultures have their own kind of

music

to appreciate their ancestors and keep the tradition alive through generations.

For example

, there are hundreds of tribes in Indonesia and every single one of them has a distinct type of

art

and

music

. In conclusion, even though

art

and

music

can be hard to learn, they have many different benefits to the world, including preserving culture and appreciation of both subjects.
