Keeping Music in Schools
My topic is about the rationale for keeping music in schools. Music plays an integral part in the school curriculum due to various advantages to the learners, parents, teachers, and the community. There has been a controversial debate on keeping music in school recently, raising many concerns about its standings. This has created various feedbacks on different positions and verdicts on the matter. While some people support that music ought to be upheld in schools, others are requesting that music be eradicated from school. According to research, schools with music programs have significantly higher attendance rates than those without programs (93.3 percent compared to 84.9 percent) (Ho, 5). This research indicates that keeping music in school has various advantages rather than disadvantages. Music in school has enhanced students' intellectual skills, creativity, and development of various issues in enhancing people's lives. 
Music helps students in learning other languages. How music integrates various languages in its arts enhances the students' reasoning skills. In essence, students will develop abilities in memorizing some of the vocabularies of a particular language. For instance, music always incorporates various languages such as Spanish, Chinese, Indians, and French within the same context. Therefore, students will need to understand some of these vocabularies to understand the text's overall meaning (20 important benefits of music in our schools, 1). Therefore, in this way, learners can deduce these new terms. Furthermore, the art of music in schools has elevated the learning of other languages extensively in that learners need to be conversant with foreign languages to integrate some of the languages in their art of music. Most of the schools that offer music tend to have one or two foreign languages as part of their curriculum. Thus, under music classes will have a high intellectual capacity to understand and memorize these languages.
Furthermore, teachers always acknowledge that musical skills enable students to be more creative, thus developing independent concepts on different issues. According to research, young children under musical lessons tend to have high brain development and increased intellectual memory over a year compared to children who lack musical training (Young Jr, 42). Music always built a certain degree of memorization among the learners in that they build a good reputation in understanding concepts in other subjects and other societal aspects (Ho, 15). Furthermore, research indicates that brain development depends on the memorability of the brain. Therefore, children who engaged in music tend to have a high intellectual capacity, and great brain development indicates how important music plays in children's development. Since music enhances brain development, it also builds intellectual curiosity and imagination (Hogan & Winner, 13). This will enhance the reasoning process among the learners, thus expanding their knowledge on different subjects and different aspects of life. Success and well-being are essential in enhancing the learn...
