Students would be much smarter if they had some musical experience. They could improve their classroom skills, like paying attention and following directions. People develop all these skills when they learn music. For instance, a study by the College Entrance Examination Board reported, Students with 20 units of arts and music scored 118 points higher in math.Making music also lets children use their imagination. It provides students with a chance to try out their own ideas,according to the October 1997 California Educator. Music makes children well-rounded students. ???? Music not only makes children better students, but also gives them something positive to do. In a music program, children can be part of a band instead of joining a gang. Parents can enjoy listening to their children’s music instead of seeing them glued to a computer or TV screen. In a school band, students get to be part of a team. They can interact with old friends and make new friends through music. ???? Music builds self-confidence. It gives children a sense of accomplishment and success. Making music is something for them to be proud of, and it lets kids practice performing in front of an audience. Music gives children an opportunity for self-expression, and that helps develop their self-confidence. ???? Once again, music is important because it can make children better students, give them something positive to do, and build their character. That is why music should be offered in every single grade in every school. ???? Note: gang? n.帮派 [ 轻松一刻 ] Fun Time
