Classical Music

well most of my sources i use in debates so you know are my own thoughts about what should or shouldn't be in the world. Classical music is good. in your contention 1: you had stated "that it is important for kids to listen to classical music from an early age" then you said basically "classical music help students better on test scores". Yes music does help students allot, but does it only have to be classical music? no, music is music in if your sources states that scientificly proven that classical music does help, but by how much are the numbers in that scientific myth. Not putting the type of music down, but even (not for it) Weed helps people do better, (people who does it only) people who listen to rock, rap they also do good, even people who just have the test in front with no distractions does better. Music is another form of relaxing your mind to think clearer. As for Wikipedia not bringing it down but thats not a liable source to use its everyones view, things always change it never stays the same. To do good on test study its the most common, as for the performing on test goes it all depends on the person not what they listen to or use to clear there mind to stay in focus. Contention 2 statements of my opponent: Yes classical music is part of history, but so is country music, and so is the oldies of music. As for venerating classical music is over dueing it, to venerate is to make something higher to praise it kind of like a God. If you want to praise classical music go ahead my friend who am i to say what you can or cannot do or argue your intentions with classical music. Everyone should have a choice to venerate what they please, there no right or wrong, i know classical music is good, but I am not going to over due it and praise it. Contention 3: 1) you stated "no violent words in the music" no there not, but there also no words, but also there is other music that actually uses words that have no violent words too classical music isn't the only type out there. Who knows Maybe when the classical music gets loud and fast maybe thats an understandable reason of anger, when someone dies in a movie you hear calm melody, what about when there is fighting in a movie, the music is use a an angry violent melody. 2) Maybe to you it has a MUCH better melody then other music but others know musicians who uses instruments just adding words make good melody. My favorites are bone thugs, and Tool melody, they also keep rhythem and even fade allot of melody not only keeping it the same as one beat or instrument play back ( meaning keeping using the same cords over and over just in different places of the song) melody is played different by many people, even indians had good melody just using drums and sticks, it all depends on the person thoughts on what is good, everyone is different and has different views on what has better melody in there music. 3)"challenges the mind" yea and no listening to the type of music doesn't challenge your mind as much as a rap or music with words while listening try singing songs you don't know thats a challenge. Now instrument playing some people can play with out any lessons. Some have that ear to make out the tone of music, I bet after you learn an instrument it wouldn't be challenging, that varies also on the type of person you are. 4)like i said some people with out any practice or lessons could play really good, people could have a mind of music and would not find anything challenging about it. now a person who need it yea at first it could be hard but if you put your mind to it then the challenge is not there. Contention 4: Like in my last paragraph my thoughts on this yes an not. Some could do it with out allot of practice some cant, it all depends on you and the person you are to be able to want to do it, but anyone can do it, just if they choose to or not so it varies, people with no skills probually could be as good as someone with skill. As for your accuracy and rhythem and with out scales music wouldnt exist now i dissagree on that, remember the indians, people way before our time before scales were invented and that should answer that statement you use with out an explenation on my part.
