Music is life, especially for someone like me that loves music like any other thing, music helps me in so many ways, it's my go-to plug whenever I want to relax and calm myself, it also gives me alot of inspiration. I'm one of those dudes that love music wholeheartedly, I use to say that music is one of those things that brought me to hive, maybe if not for music, I wouldn't have joined, because it's what I love doing the most, and when I joined, it was my area of concentration, though man could not leave by bread alone, so I was also mixing it with some other things to spice it up hahaha.
Talking about music in schools, there are different kinds of schools here and in these schools, some include music in their curriculum while some don't, for someone like me that attended a typical government (Public) school, music is not in our curriculum at all, not to talk of selecting maybe we will offer the subject or not. I would have love to do it though, if it was added.
Anyways when I was in nursery school, I could still remember few things, my teacher then use to sing for us, she also do teach us some songs to make the class lively and also to understand the topic or subject better.
The way you teach little children is clearly different from how you teach teenagers, youths or adults, to make children pay attention, you need to introduce songs, this will help catch their attention atleast for some period of time if not at all times. There are so many things that we were able to get through the help of songs that was introduced in the course of the teaching, if not, maybe we wouldn't have gotten what our teacher is trying to pass across in time.
And again it's a win win for those that have music in their school curriculum, that would help them understand music more and maybe through that they could actually discover their talent.
It's better to catch them young, when a child's talent is being discovered from the stage of being a child, it will be easier for the child to maximize his or her talent, that's if there are good support systems.
Likewise back then in children church, which is also a kind of school for those that attended, it's a place where we have teachers that will take us the teachings of the Bible and for us to understand these things very well, music is being introduced. So everywhere will be lively and even through the songs, we can get what the teacher is trying to teach appropriately.
I could remember vividly how we learnt the books of the Bible, both the old and the new testament, I couldn't have known the books of the Bible and how they were arranged if I was just taught with words but through the song I was able to get it, almost everyone of us could get it and till now I still remember everything like I was taught today.
We were not allowed to listen to music but we can sing, and as a matter of fact, the teaching is always boring when we haven't sing yet, there's inspiration in the songs and that's what keep us lively.
