Many people believe that all students should be required 
to learn how to play a musical instrument while others
do not. I am personally against this statement, 
but I think that there are both benefits and downsights
of this situation.

To start things off. I strongly believe that learning a musical
instrument is more of a talent and not everyone can be
good at it. Moreover, the students might not have enough time 
to spend on learning a musical instrument. They will probably
need quite a lot of time to proffess at it and that could
result into students not paying enough attention to their
homework. Furthermore, there is a big chance that not all
students will be xxxxxed in learning a musical instrument
and some parents might not even be able to afford them
for financial reasons.

On the other hand, students can benefit from learning a musical
instrument too. First of all, that could have a affect on the
student's creativity. In addition, students will have the chance
to become more skillful by learning a skill that might even
make them professional in the future.

Considering all the above, I strongly believe that the disadvantages
outweigh the advantages by a lot and from my point of view,
not all students should be required to learn a musical instrument.
