▶ Your Answer :
The lecturer discusses that music classes are beneficial to the students, and suggests that there are ways to overcome the costs to learn the music. However, it rebuts the reading passage’s argument that music classes are not necessary for the students, so cities can cut the budget for those classes.
To start with, music classes have benefits such as improving required skills in math and language, because music is consisted of various notations, which are helpful to reinforce the ability by interpreting them. This is contradictory to the reading passage’s argument that music classes hinder the students from studying major subjects.
Secondly, learning music is not really expensive, if the school hires volunteer teacher and uses donated instruments. These ways can reduce the costs to learn the music. However, it also refutes reading passage that the expensive musical instruments are required to learn the music.
Lastly, even though every student is not professional musician, it is rewarding to learn it, because it is helpful to our lives for improving creative skills. It also rebuts the reading passage’s arguments that all students do not need to learn the music, because they do not have excellent talents to become musicians.
