Music is often thought of as “easy” or “play time”，but it's not that at
all.Music plays a very important part in our education.
Students who learn music learn a lot of music history at school.This includes
“modes(调式)”，which were used in churches during the development of music.They
are still used today.Students learn about the historical events that were taking
place when the music they play was written.They learn what the music was used for.So
much of our culture is in music and has been for centuries.
Music also helps with science.Students use science to help them discover what -------------------------天才是百分之一的灵感加百分之九十九的勤奋------------------------------
金戈铁制卷 sounds good together and what doesn't.Students also need science to understand
something called the “overtone series”，which is about how music is produced by
vibration(颤动)and why.
Students learn a lot about languages.Many songs are written in other languages，including ancient ones.Students must learn to translate these works to understand
what they are singing about.Some songs are famous poems or short works set to music.
Students learn a huge amount of coordination(协调) through music，so parts of
the body can work better together.Students must use fine motor skills in order to
play an instrument.Singers and players must learn breath control and be in good shape
to play.
Students learn about art.Some famous pieces were written about important works
of art，and students learn about the artists and styles as they're playing the music.
Music education also brings higher thinking to our children.It allows them to
think about complex patterns (How can I make my part sound better? How do this music
and these different parts fit together？)．Students have to know absolutely what
every other musician does at all times.In that way，it develops teamwork.
As one can see，music is very important to education besides bringing us fun.
