▶ Your Answer :
The lecturer argues that it
is worth to learn instrumental music because it helps students have more full
and balanced education. This point of view contrasts sharply with the reading
passage’s claim that instrumental music has no worth to learn.
First of all, the lecturer
suggests that instrumental music helps students learn other subjects, like mathematics
and languages. In order to learn instrumental music, students have to be
accustomed to read abstract musical notation. Thus, students can raise abstract
thinking skills. In the end, they can solve math problems better by using
abstract thinking skills. Also, students can raise their language skills by
learning different sounds of instrumental music. This goes against the claim in
the reading passage that learning instrumental music bothers learning other
subjects.
Secondly, the lecturer
states that there is a way to learn instrumental music in an economical manner.
He suggests that schools can look for volunteer teacher for free. Also, they
can have cheap musical instrument by promoting donations or purchasing in low
prices. This refutes the reading passage’s claim that learning instrumental
music is too costly.
Finally, the lecturer
contends that instrumental music can enrich students’ school life even though
they are not talented. They can express themselves using musical instrument.
Also, some students seem not to be talented at first, but chances are that they
can grow up to be an expert. This casts doubt on the reading passage’s claim
that it is unnecessary for all students to learn instrumental music because not
all students are talented. |
