Music has become a fundamental component in our daily lives.

So, how come it does


not receive the attention it deserves? The provided texts discuss the fact that we take
music for granted or disregarded by the public(it) despite having a highly significant
role in our lives. They explore this issue from complementary perspectives, one
highlights the lack of support for professional musicians, while the other focuses on the
lack of relevance given to music in schools.
Even though music has a central role in our routines, since it is included in almost every
advertising jingle and it is usually played in the background in public places,
professional musicians are usually forced to abandon their careers due to insufficient
financial support from national programs or low salaries. Given this, they are usually
driven to find alternative sources of income steady income.
Moreover, music is not considered relevant in most school curricula, being frequently
replaced by core subjects, even though its ability to foster creativity and collaboration,
especially in children. In addition, parents are ambivalent towards music, being
unwilling to pay extra for instruments but likely to attend school concerts featuring their
children.
In my view, and in accordance with both texts, music ought to be receive more attention
and financial support, since it can have a significant impact in our mental health. It is
well-known that music, in its diverse forms, can be therapeutic for people dealing with
trauma and anxiety issues. Additionally, new research in musicology and musical
therapies has proven extremely successful in a variety of treatments such as those
involving autistic children.
Overall, there are compelling arguments in favor of creating better programs to value
and support music in our society, as it can have a profound effect in our well-being and
enrich our lives in countless ways.

Music has become an integral part of our daily lives, yet it is often overlooked or
dismissed by the public despite its significant role. The texts provided explore
this issue from complementary perspectives, with one highlighting the lack of
support for professional musicians and the other focusing on the lack of
relevance given to music in schools.

Despite music's central role in our routines, such as its presence in advertising
jingles and as background music in public places, professional musicians often
face financial struggles, which can lead them to abandon their careers.
Insufficient financial support from national programs and low salaries have
driven them to find alternative sources of income.

Furthermore, although music has the potential to foster creativity and


collaboration, especially in children, it is frequently not considered relevant in
most school curricula and is often replaced by core subjects. Parents also tend
to undervalue music, being reluctant to pay extra for instruments but likely to
attend school concerts featuring their children.

In my opinion, as supported by both texts, more attention and financial support


should be given to music, given its significant impact on our mental health.
Music, in its various forms, is well-known for its therapeutic benefits, particularly
in helping people deal with trauma and anxiety issues. New research in
musicology and musical therapies has also proven highly effective in treating
conditions such as autism.

Overall, there are compelling arguments in favor of developing better programs


to value and support music in our society. It has the potential to have a
profound effect on our well-being and enrich our lives in countless ways, and
should therefore be given the attention and financial support it deserves.

The given texts explore the issue of music being undervalued and overlooked by
society, despite its significant role in our daily lives. They present two different
perspectives on this matter, one highlighting the lack of support for professional
musicians, while the other focuses on the insufficient emphasis given to music in
schools.

The first text illustrates the ubiquity of music in our lives, as it is prevalent in
advertising jingles and played in public spaces. It also highlights the struggles of
professional musicians, who often have to abandon their careers due to
insufficient financial support or low salaries, forcing them to find alternative
sources of income.

The second text emphasizes that music is frequently excluded from school
curricula, despite its proven ability to foster creativity and collaboration in
children. It also highlights the ambivalent attitudes of parents towards music
education, as they may be unwilling to pay for instruments but still attend their
children's school concerts.

In my view, music deserves greater recognition and financial backing,


particularly since it can have a significant impact on our mental health. Music, in
its diverse forms, can be therapeutic for individuals dealing with trauma and
anxiety. In fact, recent research in musicology and musical therapies has
demonstrated its effectiveness in a variety of treatments, including those
involving autistic children.

Overall, these texts provide compelling arguments for the need to value and
support music in our society, as it can have a profound impact on our well-
being and enrich our lives in countless ways.
