Music is an important part of our life. But recently, to cut the spending, some US schools have given up music classes. Chicago public schools fired (解雇) more than 1，000 teachers. Ten percent of them taught Art or Music.

In fact, that is not just a problem in the USA. In other countries, such as China and Britain, Music isn't thought so important as Science, Math or History, either. That's because music isn't seen as a very important life skill, and students usually needn't take any exams in Music. Many students are busy with schoolwork, so they choose to care about subjects that are tested often.

However learning music is useful in many ways. According to an early childhood music development program, performing music isn't so simple as it looks. When performing music, people need different abilities to work together. While playing the piano, they see music notes and use their fingers to make sounds. They need to deal with all these things at the same time. They need attention and coordination (协调) of many senses. Music is also connected with science closely. As we all know, many scientists are good at playing music. For example, Einstein played the violin well, and German physicist Max Planck was interested in playing the piano, cello and pipe organ (管风琴).

Would you like to learn music? The most valuable thing music does is to enrich your hobbies and bring you lots of pleasure.
