Art and music are part of a well-rounded education. They should not be considered “extra.” If students are never instructed in art (visual art, theater art, etc..) and music (auditory art) they are missing a key subject areas. Much of mathematics, literature, and writing refer to or require an understanding of the arts to develop full meaning. Mathematics and music are especially entwined due to the mathematical concepts of music composition such as scales, pitch, volume, beat, and rhythm. The appreciation and understanding of visual arts is crucial to developing critical thinking skills in children of all ages.
Besides these vital necessities of basic education, art and music education provides the opportunity for discovery and enjoyment that many students need to motivate them to attend school. When I was in school the opportunity to sing in choir and spend time in an art class gave me the motivation to get through the rest of my math, history, writing, science, and literature courses. If it hadn’t been for arts courses I might have dropped out of high school
