Why is music an important subject that every child should study
First of all, music helps us when we are unhappy, and gives us pleasure when we are happy. There are many different types of music: slow and fast, serious and relaxing. We can choose the music to match our feelings. And second, music is fun. People enjoy playing drums and using their energy!
Scientists say that music helps children with language (语言) learning. Singing simple songs is good for young children. Music improves the ear — and we know that children who have studied music can learn foreign languages more easily and speak them much better. Students who have learnt to play music are also better at maths. This is not surprising, as music is mathematical, with notes in order. Playing music with other people also teaches children to work together. People who can play musical instruments always have something they can do at a party. Older children who play in school orchestras (管弦乐队) enjoy school more and get better grades.
People need a lot of practice to play an instrument, and it can be difficult to ask your child to spend hours at the piano or playing the guitar. So music practice should be a daily habit — for example, every day after school, but do not make the practice too long.
You should listen to your children playing and tell them that you enjoy it. Practice should also be fun. It is also a good idea to finish the practice with a piece of music the child likes, and so learning music will be a pleasant part of the day.
How does the writer start the passage
By giving an example. By telling a story.
By asking a question. By listing numbers.
Which of the following CAN’T music help children
Learn languages. Learn maths. Work together. Use energy.
Who might be the readers of this passage
Parents. Children. Older students. Teachers.
What’s the best title of the passage
How to play a musical instrument.
Music helps the young.
Learning music is pleasant.
Practice makes perfect.
