Art and Music in Education

In the class of Thinking Skills we had to choose a theme to make an essay about, I chose arts and music against technology in schools.

 Some people claim that schools should cut art and music out of the curriculum so that children can focus on useful subjects such as technology. I don´t agree with the statement shown above because I believe that art, music and technology are equally important for a student to learn at school.
 Arts and music are important because they help students express themselves in different ways; Moreover students improve their memory by studying for example music sheets. Furthermore, this kind of education develops creative thinking, which can help them solve problems by thinking outside the box and realizing that there may be more than one right answer. Finally these subjects can build pride and confidence in their work and in themselves.
 Technology is an important subject because it´s future oriented. The future is all about technology, and learning about it may help the students in the future. In addition it improves skills such as communication, collaboration, global awareness and problem solving. Moreover, technology makes the human senses work at all times, with multimedia (images, videos and audios) almost all of the human senses are used. Finally it´s the first step into a probable future career since in the last years new jobs have emerged in which you are required to have knowledge in technology.
 As a conclusion I would like to say that arts and music shouldn´t be cut from schools since they help develop student´s creativity and at the same time technolgy is equally important since it´s oriented to the future even if they use their knowledge at work or not.
