Some people believe it's essential for a person's education to learn to play a musical instrument. Others don't believe music education is important. Which view do you agree with? Explain why

I think that learning to play a musical instrument is a very important part of a person’s education. Musical instruments help strengthen the brain. For example, I have been playing the piano since I was four years old, and learning to read music was a lot like learning another language. It forced me to use parts of my brain that were underdeveloped, and it strengthened my hand-eye coordination. I think that learning to play the piano also gave me a way to express my emotions when I didn’t always have the words for them. When I was sad or angry, I was able to play the keys on my piano and create music that sounded similar to the way I was feeling. It was like I could poor my feelings into the piano, which helped me feel better.
