THE ARTS
When I was a child, my parents took me to the music school, this changed my life forever. In Colombia, it is not frequent to see a lot of children studying music. The Colombian society does not admire the musical arts. For instance, parents in our society do not encourage their children to the arts, if they were aware of the development of sensibility in children, they would take action in favor of the arts . However, there are some government programs to study arts in different cities, such as foundations and informal programs at universities, in addition to private schools. Therefore, consider the positive effects of music studies in the personality development of the students like responsibility and discipline.
Music students need discipline and perseverance to play a musical instrument. To study musical arts is a challenge. For instance, the player can not stop to study for many days, that caused by decrease in the ability to play the instrument. However, these features generate positive changes in the personality of those who decide to learn to play a musical instrument, such as perseverance, humility, focus, and order. That is why, it is advisable to encourage children to study a musical instrument.
In Colombia, the government has created programs to stimulate the study of the musical arts, this has generated the increase of young people studying musical arts. For instance, in cities like Medellin, Cali, Manizales, Cartagena, Pasto and Bogota there are special programs with great results. However, there are no enough places to work at professional level. On the whole, the country needs to strengthen professional institutions in musical arts.
Children who play any musical instruments learn to work together with other people. For instance, when children play in groups, they understand that there is a good result only if everyone does their job well, it is not an individual job. However, children also learn to create their own character. In conclusion, there are many positive effects on children when they study musical arts.
In summary, the musical arts can develop skills in children so it is important to encourage children to do artistic activities such as music. Likewise, in our country there are places where you can study musical arts and although it is professionally difficult to work in the arts, it is worthy and valuable for our society.
