Where is the future of the new generation of children going?
Many schools have cut the budget of the art and music education programs. Art
and music education gives the young children a style of music to enhance their
social skills and self-confidence to help their academic standing. Art opens
children’s minds to new experiences in the world. Art and music are two things
that are human nature. When you are a
very young child you paint and bang to make music. When you get older you learn
how to color within the lines and sing melodies and from there you discover
your own personal character. There is research to support this evidence that
has been found.
The arts are very therapeutic for children and even adults.
There has been great success that has been achieved with children with
disabilities with the help of the art of music. With the rhythms and sounds of
music you have the ability to teach a child to say sounds that they were unable
to produce prior to their exposure to music. Discipline is an imperative component in the
arts. The child needs to be proactive, focus, use their imagination, and have a
lot of patience. These are things that become extremely useful for an
individual’s future. They will understand that they can’t quit and that they have
to work hard for something they love. I truly believe that art programs should
not be cut due to a limited budget. Every child is different and gets touched
and learns differently. Do the creative children stay behind?
