“Without music, life would be a mistake, ” famous German philosopher(哲学家) Friendrich Nietzsche said over a century ago. Music is a big part of our lives. But in recent years, some US schools have cut music classes to control budgets(预算). 【出处：21教育名师】
For example, Chicago public schools hurt arts education when they fired(解雇) over 1, 000 teachers. Among them, 10 percent of the teachers taught art or music, according to The Washington Times. In fact, this is not just a problem in the US. In other countries, such as China and the UK, music classes are not thought to be as important as ones like science, math and history. That’s partly because music is not seen as a very important life skill, and it isn’t tested. Many students are busy with schoolwork, so parents and students choose to focus on subjects that are tested more often. 21教育名师原创作品
However, learning music is beneficial(有益的) in many ways.
When playing music, you need different abilities to work together. It is not as simple as it looks, according to Kenneth Guilmartin of Music Together, an early childhood music development program.

You need to deal with all these things at the same time. 21*cnjy*com
Music has a special connection with science as well. You can see that many scientists are good at playing music: Einstein played the violin, and German physicist Max Planck was talented in playing the piano. 2·1·c·n·j·y
【主旨大意】本文是一篇议论文, 论点是如果没有音乐, 生活就是一个错误。列举了“美国一些减少音乐课的事情”, 和其他事例, 证明学习音乐还是有很多好处的。最后通过两位科学家爱因斯坦和马克斯·普朗克会谈小提琴和钢琴的事例进一步说明学习音乐的重要性, 音乐是我们生活的一部分。
