How important is music？When students and parents are asked this question，they usually answer that music is nice，but not very important.It is often considered only as entertainment；and they don't choose music education firstly when comparing it with others.This opinion is short-sighted（無遠見的）.In fact，music education is necessary and important for all the students.
   Music tells us who we are.Music reflects （反映）the creators' thinking and values，as well as the social environment it came from.For example，just as Mozart's music represents a lifestyle，rock music represents a lifestyle，too.The jazz influence that George Gershwin and other musicians introduced into their music is obviously （明顯地） American，because it came from American musical traditions.
   Music provides a kind of ability to know the world in a different way.Science explains how the sun rises and sets.Music explores humans' feelings when they see the sunrise and sunset.We need every possible way to discover and respond（回應） to our world because no one way can get-it all.
   Music is a form of thought，as powerful as science.It is a way we human beings "talk" to each other.Through language and music，we express our feelings，our discoveries，our ideas，our imagination and our hopes so that they can be shared with others.When we do not let our children receive good music education，we will take away the meanings that music expresses.Science does not tell us what it means to be human.Music does.
   Music education is much more necessary than people generally realize.
