More Music In Schools Needed?
I remember when I was at school (not long ago) when we had music classes we would simply rush in and bash the nearest instruments in sight. I actually remember using tambourines in my music classes as a kid and really as far as I remember that was pretty much it. Now you may think that this sounds a bit stupid and this was what the highest music class used to do, I cannot imagine what happened to the lower sets.
The thing is that once you get to high school there is not much that can change because no one has learn to play the real instruments! One of the main issues when it comes to music lessons is that the government actually think it is good for kids to be doing this. People forget that to be able to play one of those electric guitars or even acoustic guitars you are best learning at a very young age indeed.
It is actually very hard to be able to learn how to play an instrument at a young age unless you have a bit of money, the government needs to start spending a bit more of the budget on music classes. People in my school actually started to get excited when it came to the rainmaker coming out, that is how riveting the lessons were!
I am almost 20 now and I really wish I could take back time and learn how to play guitars or an instrument that doesn’t make you look like an idiot when you are using it like the recorder. Why do schools even teach this pointless instrument to their students, put some money into guitar lessons for everyone!
Music is a fantastic way for children and adults a like to express themselves to get more budget in there!?
The government needs to sort this out so children can learn to play really decent instruments.
