Some people believe that learning a musical instrument at school should be mandatory. On the other hand, others support that this should be optional. I am of the opinion that, learning such a difficult thing like a musical instrument should not be required because it will lead to many issues. First and foremost, learning how to play guitar or piano won't help you in every day situations like maths. If someone loves playing music then yes, they should teach them at school. Moreover, some students may find it difficult to play a music instrument and their grades will drop by something that not only they didn't want but also, by something that isn't going to help them in their lives. In addition, it would be extremely hard to show in twenty five students at the same time, the basics of piano or flute. Last but not least, this will cause angry students that will argue over and over again with their teachers. Taking all things into consideration, I firmly believe that, learning a musical instrument should not be mandatory because it will cause all the problems I mentioned above.
