 Scientists recommend making it mandatory for children to learn how to play a musical instrument. To what extent do you agree or disagree?

It is an undeniable fact that music is a piece of art that makes every moment joyful and has grown by leaps and bounds over the past decade. It is often argued that experts recommend making it compulsory for younger ones  to learn how to play a musical instrument. However, I partially agree to this notion.

Apparently, learning musical instruments holds a wide range of constructive benefits. First and foremost, music is known to be the best stress reliever not only while working listening to music fosters our creativity, but also it is helpful for making someone more socialised and provokes smartness. For example, In a BBC research it is revealed that listening to music improves our learning ability and memory by stimulating different patterns of brain development. Secondly, unlike other activities, learning musical instruments is like a never ending path the more you practise ,the more you become master in the art and anyone can specialise in this depending on their dedication towards it and their personal interest. Hence, every instrument plays a special aspect of it in every song and every tone.

On the other hand, we cannot pressure someone to learn until unless they have their personal interest in that particular art or field. Chiefly, making a task or subject mandatory is not a good decision for students in which they have no personal interest not only it will enforce them to be under pressure ,but also they would not give their full potential towards learning it and could end up wasting their time. Also, it is like a hobby learning music and musical instruments for most the students. Not everyone could afford the musical instruments as they are pretty expensive. For example, In Forbes magazine there was a topic which described that most of the schools make subjects mandatory for students in which they do not have interest and at last end up having catastrophic ramifications on their grades.

To recapitulate, although making musical instruments mandatory to learn is a better way because there are lot of students who do not know that they can learn it and master it easily yet I firmly believe, its a personal choice there should be any pressure.
