There is an ongoing debate on whether secondary students need art and music class or not. Some people might argue that students can learn those classes at home or beside school. In opposition to this, I firmly believe that every secondary students should take art and music classes at school. The reasoning behind this is that they are good for mental health, students can have balanced study. Additionally, they make students well-rounded people.
To begin with, music and art class have positive influence on students' mental health. Most students, these days, are too tired and stressful because of heavy burden of study. Therefore, taking these classes reduce their stress level and enhance their study. To illustrate, when I was a high school student, I had a mental depression quite often because of the stressful school life. Then, I took music class and learned various musical instrument. These classed not only made me interested but also reduced my stress level. Therefore, I did not need to go to the clinic any more. In this sense, taking music and art classes promote students mental health.
Moreover, students can have balanced study. These days, in Korea, students put more emphasis on academic subjects in an effort to go to the college. Since they spend too much time on studying those subject, their learning are not efficiency. Therefore, if students can learn music and art at school, they can have balanced knowledge and learning. For example, when I took art class at high school, My teacher used to show us beautiful paintings and explained their meaning and background. Since I was not interested in art, it was boring. However, after taking classes for years, I found out that those painting made me think how to appreciate art, and also they made me knowledgable people about art. In this regard, taking art class enables students to have more balanced study.
Finally, students can be well-rounded people. In order to keep up with this ever changing world, it is essential for student to have those ability. Therefore, if students can learn art and music class at school, they can nourish students ability to be better persons. For instance, my brother is a famous internal doctor in seoul. Even though he is working as a doctor, he also enjoys his private time as a professional pianist, thus, whenever he has time, he opens small concert at the lobby of the hospital for pleasing patients. What made him artist was a music lesson during the high school. Thanks to the music class, he could keep on practicing during the high school, and made his life so successful. Likewise, having music and art class at school give students opportunities to develop their skills for art and could be skillful people.
To sum up, I strongly believe that music and art school are necessary at school. This is because they allows students to have healthy life mentally, and students learning will be more balanced. Additionally, there are many possibility to raise students as well-rounded people. All in all, the importance of music and art class is increasing for the meaningful and comfortable lives for their future. |
