To cut or not to cut...? That is the question

Main Reasonings for cutting

- COSTS

- TAKING TIME AWAY FROM OTHER COURSEWORK

-COSTS

Music education come at unacceptable costs. Schools across the country have cut all of their arts programs, including music education, in the wake of major funding cuts by state governments struggling to balance their budgets during the economic downturn. I won't go to deep into the COSTS subject because of my previous post about it.

-TAKING TIME AWAY FROM OTHER COURSEWORK

Students devote way too much time to their music that they barely focus on whats important, their core studies. Furthermore, taking part in musical activities was not associated with better academic performance for the middle school children who were studied by Davenport (2010). Some students become addictive to their music. Like any stimulating obsession, the power of art eventually overwhelms  its lover, turning affection into slavery: addiction.
