ART AND MUSIC COURSES BENEFIT STUDENTS IN SECONDARY SCHOOL
From my standpoint, I strongly assent to the statement that all students of secondary school ought to take part in compulsory art and music courses, such as fine arts, paintings, violin, and so forth. Various kinds of art and music classes will stand to benefit students a lot in future time, whether they choose art or music as their major or not.
As a threshold matter, when students study in the period of secondary school, whether in junior school or high school, almost none of them get to perceive subjects in depth; thus, they often don't know which course they should pursue later in universities or colleges, or even as a career in that kind of field. In this circumstance, it may be too narrow for them to learn sciences, for instance, physics, chemistry, mathematics, to name just a few. Art and music courses, they may experience special euphoric feelings which are completely distinctive from those in scientific lectures which may be tedious from some students' perspective. In artistic classes, students could find how to create a beautiful artwork which may give specific successful feeling back to them.
Secondly, knowledge learned in artistic and musical classes or lectures could benefits those people who take sciences as their majors. This may seem strange to some extent; however, arts and music indeed can help scientists achieve their destinations. Perhaps the paradigmatic example is Albert Einstein, who was a German-American physical scientist. It is well known that Einstein accomplished great success in physics, including the photoemission and the principle of relativity. Also, Einstein had a good telnet in playing violin. According to Einstein's statement, when he got messed up in thorny problems, he would turn to violin and forgot planets and moons for moment. Sometimes, the music of violin aroused certain inspiration of Einstein, from which Einstein found the keys to the problems.
Thirdly, from certain perspective, arts and music are able to offer special contents to secondary school students that could not be obtained in other classes. For instance, fine arts can teach students how to appreciate patterns, ideas after images and deficiencies of artworks, etc, which are certainly not explained in physical education classes. Moreover, musical master pieces reflect peculiar hallmark or stone mark of a special era, from which secondary school students may further understand that era besides reading historical books.
In summary, secondary school students should not be limited merely to scientific lessons, since art and music could offer a lot of meaning things to them, of course, from the perspective of artists instead of scientists. Therefore, in the final analysis, I definitely agree with the point that students should be required to study art and music in junior and high schools.
