How important is music? When they are asked this question, students and parents usually answer that music is nice, but not very important. It is often considered only as entertainment, but not the first choice for education. This opinion is shortsighted.
Music tells us who we are. Music reflects the creators' thinking and values, as well as the social environment it came from. The jazz influence that George Gershwin and other musicians introduced into their music is obviously American because it came from American musical traditions.
Music provides a kind of ability to know the world in a different way. Science explains how the sun rises and sets. We need every possible was to discover and response to our world.
Music is a form of thought, as powerful as science. Through the language we express our feelings, our discoveries, our ideas, our imagination and our hopes so that they can be shared with others. When we do not let our children receive good music education, we take away from them the meanings that music expresses. Music does.
So music education is much more necessary than people generally realize.
A. In fact, music education is necessary and important to all students. B. Music explores the emotive meanings. C. Science does not tell us what it means to be human. D. It is a way we human beings "talk" to each other. E. For example, just as Mozart music represents a lifestyle, rock music represents a lifestyle, too. |
