First of all, music is proven to fuel creativity. Children who learn music are usually smarter in math and science and having music in the schools will help the children in other classes. They can also learn to be creative through music by making up new words to old melodies or putting on small concerts in grade school or big productions in high school. This gives them a chance to get involved and healthy ways to show their emotion. For instance, if theyre sad, they can express this in song.
Music is needed in schools to provide an escape from pressures of daily life.
The child can go to the music class and sing, dance or learn an instrument. They can have some fun during the day. They can also increase their self-esteem by performing if they wish. They will be learning the whole time, but it wont be as boring as maybe Math would be. If they do perform, it will be something their parents can be proud of them for.
