There should absolutely not be more music lessons in school. In fact, the upper-elementary school kids will start to learn English from this April instead of increasing music lessons. There are three reasons why we ought not to have more music lessons in school.

First of all, we have faced the knowledge-based society now. It requires children to get how to deal with information in society. Therefore, teachers have to teach how they should think and do voluntarily through the humanities and the science more than arts.

Secondly, there is a big gap between music taught in school and one we enjoy as an entertainment. Pop is the mainstream in the music market. In addition to this, school teachers do not introduce a variety of genres from classic to rock whilst it is impossible to do so in the divided time.

Finally, school does not have plenty of a school budget for kids to have their own instrumentals. Consequently, unless children belong to music clubs, they seldom have chance to play them. It is not at all interesting just to sing or play handy ones for many years.

In conclusion, it can be said, then, that music lessons do not play a main role in school education. For that reason, there should not be more music lessons in schools.
