Could there be the faint chance that one day music will stop existing?

It seems to be a
farfetched idea, however, it could be considered as logical due to the importance of music
being almost disregarded completely both at a social and a curricular level as proved by both
texts respectively.

In the first paragraph, the author alleges the fact that the support given by the state is
nonexistent and that musicians abandoning their careers have become commonplace
currently. One argument in favour of this is the deplorable current situation of many skilfully
prepared professionals whose talent has been underestimated by their own societies.
Furthermore, by the broader exposure it has, music has been disdained down to being
considered by many as background or even merely advertising material. Nevertheless, it has
been shortsighted to neglect the tremendous power music conveys when leading massive
public audiences.

In the second paragraph, it is highlighted the absence of encouragement for music in a lower
yet not less important level that is school curriculum. Although it has been well documented
by research, school programmes tend to minimize the beneficially proven role of music and
often dismiss how valuable it is for individuals acquiring social skills. In this globalized world,
one justification often given for declining the role of music, by and large, is the fact that the so-
called core subjects would have a more relevant impact on modern world by which they mean
work.

In toto, in spite of the very recognized positive outcome music has, it is undeniable the fact
that music is not yet considered a priority by both society and curricular programmes.
Therefore, there is the imperative need for the public as a whole to make amends to the
mistreated aspect of culture.

An instrument that can produce relaxation, develop social behaviour and boost peoples
mood? It seems almost utopian but that is the effect music possesses. However, both texts
proves complimentary the contention of the importance of music being almost disregarded
through and through both at a social and a curricular level respectively.
