Do all children in your country study music at school?

Yes, definitely. Music is a compulsory subject at school in China. Usually teachers teach students how to sing, and how to recognize the musical notes：do, re, mi. You know, there are so many students per class, so teachers cannot teach everyone how to play an instrument. It’s easier to make everyone sing.

   Do you play a musical instrument?
   

No. When I was a child, I started learning the clarinet but it didn’t last long. I didn’t like it, and my mother kind of forced me to. We had a big fight one day, and that was it（＝ it was over). I would like to learn how to play the guitar in the future. Right now, I have no time because of my studies．Maybe during the next summer holidays...

   Do you think children should learn to play a musical instrument?
   
   1. 
      think it’s great if parents can give their children an opportunity to learn how to play one instrument, but the problem is that, very often, kids don’t enjoy it, but they keep on learning because their parents expect them to. Maybe it’s better to wait until the children are old enough to actually make the decision on their own.
