People hold divergent views about the important of art and music lessons at school. While many people think that it seems to be useless for learning them, I advocate that these artistic lessons also play a vital role for the development of children.

For instance, many parents want their children being good at science because of it is more useful leading to the study of medicine and disease.

Therefore, they also develop a broad range of skills. Secondly, art and music are an essential part of any civilization.  Besides the development of technology, the ancient pictures or traditional music can enrich the human's knowledge about previous eras in the world. Hence, it is clear that children can learn about history through art without boring as traditional learning methods. 

In conclusion, although certain disadvantages are on the horizon, I suppose that art and music are crucial skills for children at school.
