Education, the foundation of future success, has been demonstrated and even triggered a heated discussion over whether young children should be recommended to study art and music. Many people hold the view that children aged from five to ten should not spend extra time and energy to learn art and music. Contrary to other people’s opinions is my perspective that children can be beneficiaries by learning art and music subjects due to the contributions to their academic learning and personal development.

First of all, studying art and music subjects benefits young children in academic learning, including expanding knowledge basis and triggering their learning interests. Initially, studying art and music subjects can provide young kids with the/an access to a wide range of knowledge. To explain it further, young children can learn knowledge in different areas beyond their compulsory courses such as science, history and math, which is vital to expand their horizons from a early age . On the contrary, if they are not given the chance to learn art and music subjects, they are less likely to learn something in other fields.

Moreover, studying art and music is also a good way to boost children’s interests. In detail, in art or music classes, students have the opportunity to watch some documentaries or movies related to art or music and appreciate some famous artworks or classical music, which can trigger students’ interests to explore new things However, young children will be easy to feel tired if they only learn some theoretical courses like/such as science and history.

What should be equally worth discussing is that learning art and music courses are conducive to students’ personal development, including well-developed time management skills and persistence. Initially, additional courses encourage young students to balance study schedule and cultivate their time management skill. To be more specific, young children, with the requirement of learning art and music in addition to other subjects, will learn to allocate their time to finish  various study tasks in different subjects. Moreover, never should we ignore the significance of cultivation of perseverance. Specifically, young children will encounter difficulties and setbacks when studying art and music subjects, which creates a good opportunity for these children to develop the quality of persistence.
